It’s a good old-fashioned eating contest, but instead of Nathan’s hot-dogs, we have Goliath Worms and two reptile predators

@Chr1st0ph3r9 Vesti la giubba from the opera Pagliacci, this recording by Luciano Pavarotti. Wikipedia has a great article on the song including lyrics. A 1904 recording was the first million-selling record in history.
What is the name of this song? Please I really want to know
@charizard499 I got them at Pets, Inc. in Tempe, AZ and I think it was around $4 or $5 for a dozen (including the food for the Goliath worms; they eat it over a week as they get huge). But they rarely have them in. It’s a seasonal thing apparently. I haven’t seen them for a while, and I frequent 3 or 4 pet stores and have never seen them anywhere else.
@mrpoop608 You are right.
How much were your goliath worms? i’ve been trying to find out cuz i wanna get my bearded dragon some and i cant find the price anywhere so if you could tell me before christmas i would be thankful
nice vid by the way
2:36 the mouse poops a little
@dpinkus Yes that what the internet is used for , but should an animals pain really be classed as ‘entertainmen’t?
@mrpoop608 I don’t particularly cherish the thought of animals suffering either. I’ve tried frozen mice, thawed and warmed to body-temperature, and then put in a vibrating dish to fake that they are alive. My dragons don’t go for it. It’s a *rare* treat for them, but something I thought would entertain people on YouTube, which is what the Internet was created for, right?
I never feed anything that can fight back, because I don’t want my reptiles getting bitten or hurt. Perhaps one-sided
@reptileboy94 I totally agree. I want one too, been looking on craigs list for a while for something reasonable, and/or I’ll build a big one (it’s that elusive time).
@jjeeemm Veggies are 95% of their meals. Actually young ones (dragons) need way more protein; so worms, crickets, etc., As they get older you give them a higher ratio of veggies. In terms of 2 meals a day, 14 meals a week, 12 are all veggies and 2 are other protein sources.
@funkyskiller I’m guessing animals close their eyes when attacking to protect themselves from getting their eyes scratched. Sharks do it too.
@Lilpete4201 Because it’s funny.
@dpinkus Well the mice suffer more , and they dont need mice to survive … yes they do eat dead mice , please get your facts right in futuree .. thanks actually im wrong there that was a pinky mice and it died very quickly thats ok i jsut dont like full grown being fed as they get bitten alot and its horrific to watch
@dpinkus Well the mice suffer more , and they dont need mice to survive … yes they do eat dead mice , please get your facts right in futuree .. thanks
@TheHonestTheist thats how life is.thats how nature was meant to be.not too pretty but oh well..
y do u have that sea basckround ?????????
@Skillz506 about 20 in the ebst way but 15 years normally 4 sure
the thing @ the beginning… hope thats not is terrarium dawg
@dpinkus they can actually sometimes live up to 15 years. It all depends on diet and lifestyle. But on average its around 12 years in the wild and 10 years in captivity. Don’t know why its less in captivity though, I’d have expected it to be more in captivity..
Hate skinks
@dpinkus i been heard up to 16 ;’O
Pahaha, it’s so funny at the beginning. Your BTS is really showing off, like “I’LL SHOW THIS BLASTED WORM WHO’S BOSS!!”
Drag maimed that worm… nice I love bearded dragons
@dpinkus he has a point… one in the wild they would eat field mice just the same along with other things… and why is it ok for a worm to die but not a mouse… they all have feelings just cause one is bigger and “cuter” shouldnt make make it less ok for a lizard to eat
@TheHonestTheist oh brother grow up i bet you dont have a pet mouse and you would never touch one so quit showing sympathy to something that you wouldn’t even touch
WOW she is massive!
thats a big bearded dragon .this must be verry pain full
ok so i cant afford an incubator… cant i just get a tub, poke some air holes, put a heat lamp on top, and let the dragon pick a spot to lay the eggs?
lol dis isnt a few eggs!!
did she lay any more mine laid 18 eggs and the 2clutch came in 20 day after another 18 eggs total eggs 36 ….check out my video
were they fertile eggs? Do you leave the sand dry, or you you make it damp? What do you have to do while the eggs are developing?
Now im convinced that laying eggs is no less painful thenn giving birth.
