Hi,
Is there a way to calm down a beardie when being held? I adopted a 2 year old around 6 months ago, not like he doesnt like being held, he does, but after a min he will try to jump off. He will squirm, wiggle, and jump off my hands. I always grab him correctly, so thats not a problem. He is just REALLY curious outside his viv. During the day I cant make him sit still for more than a min before he starts jumping off the couch/hands and explore and hide somewhere and sleep. I love my beardie to death but any way I can practice handling him? Be able to hold him for more than 40 seconds? I never actually let him jump off my hands, he can jump off the couch, its only a one foot drop with soft carpet so he lands perfectly and smooth everytime. One time he did jump off my hands (im 5'8), landed right but sounded like it hurt. Dumb beardie he is lucky he has an owner that loves him to death.
