Me and my fiancé bought a female beardie the lady from pet smart said she was 3 months (but she was tiny the size of my palm) and we got her in February so supposedly shes 6 months. She shed twice with us and the second time she was in a bad situation so i needed to help her it was peeling from her face and on her eyes so i took her out and bathed her. She keeped trying to leave so i used a wet cloth instead.. i pulled on it i think thats what set her off :( i feel horrible every since then which was 2 days ago shes been pissy with me idk how to make it better shes puffing up at me and **** with her mouth open, i try to feed her cuz you know every girl loves food lol but nothing she'll eat but shes still irritated.. I need help shes my first ever lizard and i love her i didnt mean to hurt her or anything i dont want her to start getting aggressive and yes im alittle afraid that she'll bite me.

First of all, welcome to the wonderful world of bearded dragons, a land of mystery, enchantment, cuddles, love and, worry! A magical realm where things always seem to change in an instant and, the moment you think you have it all figured out, the rules change! You think you own your dragon?, Ha Ha....guess again..... Like it or not, you are now a slave, lol!!!
Let me start with never "I mean never" pull on a shed to help. I know its tempting but don't do it, you can cause damage to the scales under the loose skin, let them do it.
She will come around again, give her time, it will work out.
Petsmart gets their dragons at 2 to 3 weeks old so, she is most likely around 3 months old now.
The problem here is she most likely doesn't like a bath in the first place and, compounded with the skin thing ..she got PO'd, lol! She'll get over it!

Try chocolate and roses :D

Joking aside, she'll get over it. I definitely agree never to tug or pick at sheds. I've offered to help by rubbing my finger on their lips, and occasionally they'll rub their face on your hand in return to try and scratch their eyes and such, depending on the dragon. Otherwise, as irritating as it may look for them, nature will have to run it's course.

Sweet talk her and offer her favorite foods

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
