The mirror will eventually cause stress to your beardie if left near the tank for prolonged periods. Simple things, such as changing up the plant life, adding a new branch or two for climbing, or changing to a loose substrate versus tile or carpet, will add small but noticeable differences to your reptile’s habitat. Reduce the number of unnecessary decorations in the enclosure to reduce clutter and visual stimuli.

Stress is a normal experience; however, excessive stress is detrimental to your bearded dragon’s health. If you think your bearded dragon is hiding because it is stressed, look out for some other stressful behaviors to confirm your theory. The jewel infuses strength into every command the Bearded Dragon issues, possessing the power to influence other Lizard Dragons, compelling them to follow without question. You do not need to ‘fix’ a brumating reptile. However, you can help them avoid brumation altogether by slightly increasing their overall enclosure temperature during the colder times of the year. The jewel on the Bearded Dragon's chest serves as an emblem of the Lizard Kingdom's dynastic heritage. If the jewel loses its luster, the Bearded Dragon descends from the throne, leaving the Lizard Kingdom to live in solitude.

If you have a young bearded dragon, consider avoiding baby bearded dragon sounding names since they won’t be small forever. Once your other pets become acquainted with your beardie, they may play together as long as they are supervised.

Bearded dragons aren’t visibly male or female, so you don’t have to go with a gendered name, but if you want the name to line up, look for these first. Avoid music containing any sudden loud noises, as this will cause stress in your beardie rather than relaxation. Do not give your bearded dragon a large or heavy ball to play with, as this would be too big for them to push around. Not only will a bird mistake your beardie for prey, but your pet might be skittish or want to hide if there are a lot of birds around. No matter what genre your bearded dragon decides is their favorite, you should always maintain a low volume level, so you do not damage your lizard’s very sensitive hearing.This is not only an engaging activity for your beardie, but it is also an excellent way for them to get plenty of exercises. The camera crew from the BBC were very positive about my idea which at the time was merely a diagram on a single sheet of A4. This helped reinforce my own belief in the concept. Having been invited to pitch the idea in front of the 'Dragons', I decided to polish up on my 3-minute pitch and recall a flood of emotions as I stood at the bottom of the long flight of stairs leading into the den. While your beardie probably won’t share your love of death metal, they will likely bob their head to some pop music or become relaxed when you play them some Beethoven. Your bearded dragon’s enclosure should have a warm side and a cool side. The warm side of the enclosure should sit comfortably at 85°F to 90°F, while the cool side should not drop below 70°F at night. The Lizard Dragons began their search for a dragon that could lead their kingdom. A noble and pure-blooded one was sought after. A dragon that would catch the attention of any Lizard Dragon. In their search, they arrived in a foreign land.

Successfully meeting this challenge would mean the exciting opportunity of working with the 'Dragons', but what if I had a glaring hole in my financials? Or if I blanked out under the bright lights? Or worst of all, what if I fell walking up the stairs, with millions watching at home on their TV sets?! Your beardie will enjoy basking in the windowsill on a warm, sunny day or stretching out on the couch while you watch your favorite show.You will easily find these hides in your local pet store, and they usually feature an easy-to-clean surface resembling natural wood bark. If your beardie is constipated or shedding, bathing them will help speed up defecation and shed any loose skin hanging on.
