So pretty much as the title says, my beardie will not let me pick her up, I can get my hands near her, but as soon as i try to pick her up she runs. Once i get her out of the cage if i can catch her without hurting her, she is fine.

So my simple question is, is there a way to get a beardie used to being picked up? I can literally do anything else to her, she takes food from my hand if I try, really, that's the only way she eats greens. She let's me pet her with no problems, she just refuses to allow me to pick her up.. Any ideas?

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
