Barthalamule
New member
Hi. I’m new here. My teenage son owns a bearded dragon. I gifted Barthalamule to my son in 2019. She’s in a large enclosure tank, 48 1/2” x 18 1/2” x 21 3/8”. She is about 15 months old. I have started to spend a lot of time with her since January 2020.
When I first gave Barthalamule to my son, I didn’t really spend much time with her. It was his responsibility. Now I go in his room and feed her & clean her tank, etc. Unfortunately, since I hadn’t spent continuous time with her for 7 months, she is not happy to be handled. My son gave up on handling her.
I can hand feed her in her vivarium. I can clean her tank & move objects around without her getting upset. But she does not like to be petted or picked up. She sometimes hisses at me. Of course, I don’t want to stress her. Any recommendations on how to fix our relationship are
appreciated.
