Hello my names Isaac and i have a beardy called Esther. I'm a new bearded dragon owner and was given Esther who is 2 years old about 2 weeks ago. Before Esther would allow me to pick her up fine and would not show any aggression towards me. Now she will always when i put my hand near go and open her mouth to look like she is going to bite. She is also constantly digging now everywhere.
I looked only and have made 2 theories to what may be the problem. A lot of her behavior looks like she could be about to lay a clutch of infertile eggs, so i put her in a box with wet sand for her to dig in, unfortunately i left her in for about 2 hours and she stayed in one spot and did nothing. My second theory is that her old owner used to feed her locust where as i started to feed her super worms, and i was thinking maybe she thinks my fingers are also supper worms? It sounds kind of stupid when i say it but i really don't know what the problem is, so it would be very nice if someone could help!
