this is a question out of curiosity , not concern haha - my baby bearded dragon has finished shedding, and is pooping daily, and eating her greens and bugs, and is active & is very healthy and doing well. I’m just quite curious - what does it mean when they lick something ?
like to clarify - my baby bearded dragon won’t be hungry at all, but sometimes she will wonder around her tank and like kind of lick different areas & different surfaces. And once when I was hand feeding her, she even walked up to me and licked my hand really quickly like once or twice & I was just curious if that meant anything haha.
also , my beardie eats from my hand, and recently she’s starting to kind of climb onto my hand (SOMETIMES) while eating if I put live bugs in the palm of my hands - she’s still quite a tiny so I can understand why my giant hand can be intimidating lol , but I was wondering :
once they get older / bigger, like in a few months when she is bigger than the size of my hand, will she be less scared of it & will it appear less intimidating ? because she eats from my fingers, eats out of the palm of my hand, let’s me move stuff around her tank w/o getting scared, is basically never stressed & is pretty much completely white beard / white belly daily, and is overall getting used to my presence - but I still can’t pick her up / touch her too much (also , I’ve only had her for a little bit over a month lol) but yeah I was just wondering once she is physically bigger than the size of my hand, will it appear less intimidating to her so that I can begin to handle her ? Like in future months, since she will be so used to getting food from my hand & she will also be bigger, will I be able to hold her ?
wow that question was worded quite oddly haha , sorry - if you don’t understand just let me know and I’ll try to reword it ?
