It took my Figment a couple of months to settle down and enjoy chilling with me... he was probably about 3 months old when I got him, and probably around 6 months when he started to calm down. I feel that just like human toddlers, who seem to have two speeds (full speed ahead and dead stop), some young dragons are just wriggly little bundles of energy... it's hardwired into them from generations of "run or get eaten" Darwinism. I still handled Figment frequently, but for short periods, so he would be accustomed to it - and now, at a bit more than a year from his gotcha date, he's usually incredibly mellow when I take him out, very happy to just sit and absorb my body heat.
