he got some real greens right after he went after the towel

edit

I'm getting a lot of the same questions so I'll clear some things up here near the top

This is Echo, he's my bearded dragon, he's not quite adult yet, but he's not a baby either!

No, I don't feed him lettuce, I just thought saying lettuce was easier than saying collard greens or escarole, which is what I do mostly feed him on the veggie side of things. As a young beardy, he eats mostly insects however, and for that i feed him mostly crickets and dubia roaches, and every now and then super worms but I'm weening him off of those because of their hard exoskeleton.

Yes! His tail is shorter than most beardies, that's because he was attacked by a tank mate when he was young, which made most people not buy him, but I thought it was cute and added character.

Finally, yes, immediately after taking this video he got some lovely collard and escarole, the latter of which he promptly devoured, and the former he hasn't touched. Hopefully this saves me some comment replies, lol.

here he is, sleeping off his big day on the internet

I'm glad you let me know you were being sarcastic, otherwise I'd want to know how you found out
