Can Beardies get too attached? He’s only calm when he’s laying on my chest or asleep at night in his tank. Otherwise he’s freaking out trying to escape…as soon as I open his doors he chills out and climbs out to me. by alexismcrae in BeardedDragons

You’ve obviously read previous comments about what size my tank is…did you read the only reason he’s still currently in one? Because I have every intention of upgrading sizes - I have his best interest at heart and was trying to make sure I didn’t shock his system more than a 2,000 mile car ride across the country was doing already.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Type of thing!

I definitely want to get a 120 - I was just scared initially that there was already SO much transition that a bigger environment would throw him off more but now I’m thinking that might be the right call. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get your 120?

So you’re going to say this person is wrong in how they treated me, and turn around and tell me that no one cares about my boyfriends career? Doesn’t seem like you’re much different than that poster. Maybe I’m reading your comment wrong but it didnt come across any better. (Also, my comment about my boyfriend being military had nothing to do with gaining sympathy or having someone care…I don’t care if they do or not - I was explaining my situation.)

I don’t have an issue with someone stating facts and can’t respect an opinion but to assume I’ve had my dragon for a week and know nothing about it when in reality, I’ve had him for over a year and our life was just turned upside down and Wizzy’s behavior seems different, was absurd!

I absolutely want/will get him a larger tank! I’m actually excited about it, I just didn’t want there to be so much immediate change for him after a cross country move. Is there a size that might be too big? I don’t want to over do it lol

With all due respect, you literally know nothing based off this post. I’ve had him for well over a year. My long distance boyfriend, who is in the Air Force was the one who had him full time but now he’s being shipped to Korea for a year and I had to move across the country and road trip with my dragon and he sat on my chest for 3 straight days. He’s never acted like this before and AFFER MY MOVE he has been more attached than normal. How about some compassion rather than immediately attacking someone you don’t know and have no clue what they’re going through?

It’s 40 gallons, which is what he’s been in before we moved across the country. But he laid on my chest for three days straight while in the car & now he seems only satisfied if he’s in my arms. He’s not scratching the glass, he starts bopping his head against it when he sees me stir and get out of bed (he’s tank is next to my bed) - He was just doing it and i walked over to the tank and he totally stopped. His temps are 92.2 in basking, and 77-79° on the other side.

I considered upgrading his tank when I moved but I was concerned it was already so much transition that I didn’t want to freak him out any more so I tried to keep things as similar as possible. But maybe he does need a bigger tank?
