The noise scared my lizard something frightful!
Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they’re pretty resilient.
How do you deal with the lizard poop? Does it just poop everywhere?
He has his own enclosure, too! But poop really isn’t as issue. They telegraph pretty clearly when they’re about to poop. They’ll move around more frantically before they do, do the classic slight tail lift + butt wiggle, and then
decimate everythinglet it all out. If you’re paying attention, you’ll usually catch them before they stink up your floors.Water actually triggers their poop reflex, too! So owners often soak their dragons in the tub to have them poop before letting them roam.
Can you train them to poop in specific areas or is it just a crap shoot?
Edit: I’m far more interested in your lizard than the dude on your lawn lol
I personally prefer interesting creatures over vehicular trespassing, so it’s understandable.
Bearded dragons typically only poop every few days or even once a week! So it’s not like a daily thing, unless there’s something going on with their health or they’ve drank/eaten more than usual (they WILL try to eat as many insects as possible, if given the opportunity!). Plus, it’s not like a dog-sized poop or anything, but it is pretty loose and nasty, admittedly.
They can’t really be trained to poop in specific places, which is why a lot of owners use the bathtub method. Just fill up the tub/container a bit with warm water (usually it’s enough so that they are submerged up to the base of their tail), put your dragon in, and within a few seconds to minutes, you have a freshly emptied dragon! Just drain/dump the poopy water, and you don’t have to worry about poop on your floors, blankets, yourself, etc.!
Bill their insurance for your lilies. Driving is a privilege and drivers should take responsibility for their mistakes while driving.
Considering the damage they did to the other car involved (you can see their trunk popped open behind the wannabe monster truck), I’m sure they’ll be paying in some way or another. They’re certainly not getting away with it without significant consequences!
I just had some grass & a few flowers torn up, so I’m very fortunate. Not looking to weaponize the system against them. Just want the folks who suffered the actual damages to get paid. Hopefully this teaches the distracted driver a valuable lesson!
Adopt it
I try to leave nature in the wild where it belongs. 🙏
I wish we could reduce the natural habitat of those disgusting creatures
I hope you mean the car
I do lol
Same. Invasive species. Ick!
You have to be happy for the little things in life like a car not smashing through your conservatory.
Have you given thanks that your home hasn’t been run into by a car today? 🙏
Time to set up some boulders to protect your house from idiots like this
Glad you and your lizard are safe!
Thank you! We were pretty fortunate this time.
Glad your scaly friend is OK!
Am I the only one who sees an alien trapped in your curtains?!
I looked quickly and that’s what the pattern looks like with the way your curtains fall 😅
I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger
You okay? How many fingers am I holding up?
12? 😅 lol, it’s literally the first thing I saw
Listen: if the alien can’t manage to get out of some curtains, they were not meant for this world.
I didn’t the first time, but I did after reading your comment.

He puffed up at all the commotion! Gotta look big and scary at the big noise.
I was eating at a restaurant one time with some people from out of town when a car drove past the window. Nobody really seemed to interested when I pointed it out until I also pointed out that there is not a road outside that window. The car had jumped the curb, threaded the needle between a stop sign and fire hydrant, and made it about 80 feet through the park before stopping. The cops were still dealing with the guy when I left the restaurant, he was clearly very inebriated.
Lizard is looking at the camera like you seeing this shit
Bearded dragons absolutely have a knack for stupid reaction faces!
Time to buy a boulder to go in front of the window

I know a guy with a really nice boulder. Unfortunately it’s in the swamp.
Try to cheat Death and piss off the gods for a free one with unlimited warranty.
You must deal with the delivery yourself though.
They’ll make a bigger car to drive over it
I’m sure someone will find a way to drive right over / through them.
Once a car jumped the curb and managed to fly over a chain link fence and land in my parents front yard. On flat ground. Had to take the fence apart to get the car out.
up close and personal like
At first I read cat and I spent a few minutes looking for the kitty
I gotchu
I love your cat
Meow am cat gib food pls x
Tell your kitty I love him.
He responded with a confused head tilt and licked a cardboard tube.
I apparently don’t speak cat very well, so interpret that how you will.
Loving all that natural light and those plants! Hey, quick BD question. Has yours ever pooped on its own back? My now deceased dragon, once pooped on his own back, and I have no idea how, but I’ve heard from others that they are messy poopers.
Their poop can be pretty nasty, to be sure. Never pooped on his own back directly, but he has done things like walk through it, or fall off his basking platform into it. It’s absolutely possible that your dragon fell into it while climbing.
To be fair, if he poops in his enclosure, my dragon will run away from it and frantically claw at the glass (also called glass-surfing) until I clean it up. He HATES having poop in his enclosure!
Ya, I wanted to run away from it too, so I don’t blame him lol
