We've had our beardie since October. I get her out every day to feed her and handle her. She doesn't love to be held but seemed to be very slowly getting better with it. I just let her out to roam while watching her. She quickly took off and went to the sofa and I was worried she would go under it, so I quickly stood up and went to grab her. She flaired and gaped her mouth at me. I jumped back and my husband went over and she was fine with him. I could see how I probably scared her but she's been pretty difficult to handle since we got her. She's still too small to allow her to roam without being really cautious and quick so she doesn't go underneath things. Any tips (other than not standing up to her, behind her, and too quickly) on ways I can make her trust me more? Or is this a beardie thing? I guess I'm just used to dogs :/! We picked a dragon because we thought they would be really laid back and docile. She is very picky and feisty!
But I touched her alot while she was a baby!! Like I do with puppies to get used to being touch I dont know if reptiles are the same but... Touch her feet , hands, file her nails lol so I can safely pull her out from her tail if need be without her reacting . Havent seen her flair at me yet!
