Hello everyone, I am fairly new to this forum and had a question about harnesses for bearded dragons.
First off I have a Dragon named Jim after Jim Morrison "The Lizard king" he is 16" long now, about 5 months old and 279g healthy and happy. I have all of the needed lighting including a MVB set-up in a 100 gal tank temps are good about 105 on his basking spot and this time of year a little cold out his cool side runs about 76 on average. He eats his veggies and dubia roaches most of the time. The question is about harnesses I bought a harness the kind with a leather piece that has two holes for his arms, its a real struggle to get him in it. I was wondering if there are better harnesses and what are some recommendations. The one I have fits him well enough but he can pull his legs out very quickly if he wants to, I don't want to make it too tight and I don't want something that may cause him undue stress although he did not show much stress over it when I tried it on him. Jim is a pretty low stress dragon over all he does not gape or puff his beard up often and rarely darkens unless he is cold and trying to warm up. I have looked around and may missed it, but did not see any discussions on the harness subject.
