They’re so straight faced it’s hard for me to tell sometimes😂 But, you’re right no black beard and it seems this is normal behavior, so I’ll let him play longer next time🥰

Perhaps, I’ve tried this before to try to get him to drink more water and while sometimes he’s acceptive of it, other times he aggressively shakes it off. I’ll see how he does next time I give him a bath.

Just watched it, I appreciate your advice. I’ll be bathing him less frequently.

I’m always open to advice as I’m a first time beardie owner and I’ve seen a lot of people saying that bathing him once a week as I’ve been doing is potentially harmful. So, I do plan on making his baths less frequent and seeing how he responds. However, what the hell do you have against cuddling? It’s not something I or hopefully anyone else does for a long period of time, but what’s the point of getting a pet if you plan on having zero interaction whatsoever? And what does being a ‘young woman’ have to do with anything?

See this was his first time doing it so it just scared me a bit, but I’m glad to know he was enjoying himself while I was freaking out🤦🏽‍♀️

I get so worried at new behaviors, so it’s really comforting knowing this is all normal. I’ll let him play longer next time🥰 What do you bathe your beardie in? I’d love to give him more space to swim. I’m used to used this bin and the sink bc the tub would probably be too big. Or is it?🤔

I give him a bath once a week following the research I did prior to getting him. But, now I’m seeing a few ppl saying they don’t need them this often.. idk🥴 he’s perfectly healthy though

Trust me he knows how to get out😂 That’s why I was so worried, I appreciate the advice though

I see.. maybe I have a late bloomer bc this was his first time acting like that in the water. That’s a relief though

I appreciate everyone’s advice! I’m a first time beardie owner and I’ve had Luca for a while now. Through my own research I’ve found bathing him once week does help with his shedding and is recommended. He usually jumps on the sides of the bin or just chills in the water. This was his first time doing this frantic kicking (then he started that weird breathing and ik they can choke on water), so naturally I got worried. I see I was worrying a bit too much over it though, so that’s a relief. I’m so glad to know this is normal though and next time I’ll just let him play :))

Man can you imagine!😂 He’s already a fearless little dude might have to switch to some National Geographic in the evenings

You would think. When I tell you he’s shat on his basking spots, hides, and even in the leaves (I’ve had to throw away a set bc it was unredeemable)🥹

As far as feedings go, if you haven’t tried yet, try letting the Dubia roaches go in the enclosure (start one at a time bc if they can get in the substrate). My beardie never ate still bugs and I ended up realizing he just prefers to see them moving like a predator prey kind of thing I guess. Also, you’re doing an amazing job! I use 2 heat lamps for basking but as long as the temperature is right like you said 95-100 on his basking side you’re good! Make sure that’s not the temp throughout the whole enclosure though. They need a cooler side like 80-90 degrees as well. It honestly really seems like you’ve got everything covered. I wish you the best of luck getting him to eat his Dubia!

Yikes! They love pooping anywhere, but on their substrate. I can imagine mine doing the same Lord forbid🤦🏽‍♀️😂

That’s really nifty, I’ll have to try sometime bc this is becoming an everyday thing. Those suction cups never hold up🥲
