I've had my bearded dragon for about three months, and hes grown a lot since we first got him! When I first got him, he was terrified of me and would beard whenever I went to interact with him. That really put me off wanting to handle him. Now, he is very comfortable with my hand and allows me to pet him sometimes. Every so often, I will take him out of his viv and down into a room where I can close the door (my bedroom has no door and is unsafe for beardies) and let him run around and try to bond with him. He seems not to like this, for he as of late has gotten a black beard and runs from my hands. My biggest problem is my fear of what he is going to do when I pick him up. I'm afraid of him running or falling or me hurting him. Is there any way I can work to make him and myself more comfortable?
