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.

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.

New Book!
My human. Wrote a book. About me! (Well, Bearded Dragons in general, but I'm the main character!) She put a lot of work into it over the past three years, so if you're interested in Beardies, please consider checking out 'A Link Between Us: Life With A Bearded Dragon,' available now!
(Full summary and extra Link pictures from over the years below the cut.)
Summary:
With a reputation as being sweet, mild-natured lizards, Bearded Dragons are a widespread exotic pet. However, the reality of living with and caring for one of these reptiles doesn't always match up with the ideal sold by pet stores. In 'A Link Between Us,' the author brings readers into the world of Beardie careship through a combination of scientific research and personal stories about her dragon, Link.
After all, all stories need a main character, and Link is the perfect Beardie for the job.

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.
