I got my beardie about a week ago and for the first 3 or 4 days it was fine. I let it adjust to its new habitat for a few days and it was fine being touched, picked up, and held. I always try to pick it up from the front (sliding my hand under its chin and letting it crawl into my hand).
Now it wont let me near it without opening its mouth wide and trying to bite me when I try to pet it. I'm scared to force it or just pick it up anyway because I don't want it to hate me or fear me. (I even put an old tshirt in the corner of its enclosure, I thought that maybe if it got used to how I smelled it would warm up to me. It lays on it a lot, so maybe it like it?)
It also started glass surfing against the back of its enclosure a few days ago. And I've tried moving the furniture, the whole enclosure, the lights. I can't think of anything else to do.
Its about 2 months old (I assume, its about 7 inches long), and I've been trying to give it some space and leave it be but I don't know what to do.
