I've had my beardie for 2 weeks now and when I try to pet or hold him he try's to bite be or runs off. How can I get him tamed? He is approximately 2 months old.

With patience. Be sure to approach from the front or side, and not over the beardie's head. Maybe offer a treat. I would start with just light touching, and not try to pick up yet, if he's objecting that strongly to it. Some people suggest to put a shirt that you've worn into the tank with them so they can become familiar with your scent.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
