So, my beardie is a super friendly guy. He never bites, or gets upset at me for anything.
Except nail polish. As soon as I paint my nails, he turns into the Hulk. Black beards, puffs out, turns himself up like he thinks my fingers are suddenly predators.
The problem I have is I'm a nail biter, and the only way I can stop is by keeping my nails painted all the time. Obviously this has become a problem. I can't even open the door to his tank without him getting angry, and I don't want him to be upset with me forever.
Basically my question is has anyone desensitized their beardie to nail polish? And if so, how did you do it? I've tried just putting my hand in there, resting it close to him where he can see my nails, and not making any sudden movements. Even when he seems to relax, the second I move even a millimetre it's right back to square one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
