Hello! My 2 month old beardie keeps closing his eyes when I'm anywhere near him? I got him about 5 weeks ago, and have been interacting with him everyday. I've heard from somewhere that this can be a sign that you're bothering them?
He's never really enjoyed being around me (except when I'm feeding him.) But, now when I even get close to his tank he closes his eyes. He hates being picked up but is fine with just sitting on my hand. Whenever I try to pet him he closes his eyes and moves away. And, when I try to take him out he closes his eyes, and then tries to get back into his enclosure. He's been acting like this ever since I got him. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong? I'm starting to get discouraged that I'll ever mange to tame him. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do? Thanks!
