Hello everyone!
One thing I’ve noticed since owning a bearded dragon is that it takes a toll on my hands. Whether I’m putting my beardie in for a bath or back into his tank, even if I gently and slowly lower him down, he holds on tight and scratches me in the process. Lately my hands are looking like I’ve been dating Edward scissorhands. Some of my friends have commented that it looks like I’m doing the damage to myself. Hopefully that’s not what strangers think! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else here would like to share if they have the same experience?
Just a note: my beardie is very tame and does not bite or get aggressive, he just has really sharp nails, and I’m too scared to trim them.
