#Bearded dragons

[gentlebeardsbarngrill]

Okay yall, I promise I'm not trying to start shit. But I just can't get over the name Gentlebeardies -- because I love bearded dragons SO MUCH you have no idea (which are nicknamed beardies)-- this is literally what I think of every time I see that phrase so I had to share it with you all for the sake of my hyperfixated brain. So now I can have Blackbeardie, and The Gentleman Beardie. PS: I don't do edits well so this is my humble offering.

I think it’s cute, but I’m just wondering what the beardie is mistaking the Pokéball for!

Link here on insta

Link for everyone - it's a video of a young bearded dragon jumping at a Pokemon game on a laptop sceen.

Yep, all's good here - this beardie 100% thinks that pokeball is food and is really confused that it won't go in their mouth.

today's gay animal of the day is...

bearded dragons!

among some reptile species, the temperature surrounding the egg as it incubates can dictate whether it hatches as a female or male. sometimes, in bearded dragons, temperature changes will result in one that has the body of a female, but the behavior of a male, including mating with other females!

Hello everyone, here’s today’s post of Cheeto going up the stairs. I mentioned in the last post how she knows her way around the house and isn’t bothered about having to climb the stairs to get there.

I’m so happy Cheeto has the freedom to move around the house doing what ever she pleases, while knowing if she’s cold she’d come back to go under the heat lamp. She absolutely loves her morning walks and I don’t think she’d be as happy without them. Cheeto also loves her days out in the garden through the summer months. I can’t wait to share with you some photos of her in the garden over the next few posts.

I splurged and got her the new 5 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot cage (150 gallons). She actually looks small in it. She was in a 4 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot cage that I had built with my dad. But she needed an upgrade.

I give the plants 2 months before I’m replacing them again. She’s not nicknamed Godzilla for nothin.

Despite it also being bioactive like her last cage, this one’s soooo much lighter due to the material it’s made out of

10/10. Love this new cage.

https://youtube.com/shorts/aBQ94G4tugg?feature=share3 i see videos like this a the time and always wondered whether it is actually safe. is it?

Link for everyone - this is a video of someone removing shed from around a bearded dragon's eye with tweezers.

This is a terrible idea. Removing shed from a reptile yourself is always a no-no; it's very easy to hurt them by pulling on shed that isn't ready to come off. Just let them take care of it themselves, and a nice soak can handle any remainder if you've made a mistake with your husbandry. Using tweezers to remove it is an awful idea, and that's especially true around the eyes. Even if you ignore my advice and remove your pet beardie's shed manually, at least listen when I say never to do it around the eyes! That's an easy way to set your poor beardie up for eye infections, and that's if you manage not to poke them in the eye with the tweezers.

The person in this video also blatantly ignores the beardie's body language. When they pull on the shed with the tweezers, the beardie tightly clenches their eyes shut - this is like the lizard version of a grimace, and they're communicating that they're uncomfortable.

I understand the urge to want to "help" your reptile with their sheds, but it's not necessary if your husbandry is good, and a nice bath is always better than tweezers if it becomes necessary.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Some reptiles rely on incubation temperature to determine their sex; some rely on chromosomes. The bearded dragon does both. Under normal temperatures, their sex is only affected by their chromosomes-- ZZ for males and ZW for females. However, at temperatures above 31°C (87.8 °F), bearded dragons with ZZ chromosomes develop female reproductive characteristics. These adults are fully capable of producing fertile eggs, but still retain some male traits and behaviors.
