My beardie i got a week ago is very very scared of my hangs. Everytime i change out water/food he rears up and goes flat. And when i've tried to pick him up going from under his chin he just runs away and starts breathing heavy. I don't know what to do? Please help!

Keep in mind you are much bigger so it may take some time for him to get used to you. Just move slowly when you are changing things in the tank. Try not to approach from above as that can startle them as well. You can also try offering some treats by hand. Maybe some black soldier fly larvae or silk worms. Don't be too forceful with it, but sometimes hand feeding can help form a bond. Mainly just give him some time to settle in and get used to you.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
