Ok so I’ve had my dragon for about a week now. When I first got her she was already very friendly and was completely ok with me being in the room and sometimes even hand feeding. She was taking the move strangely well until a few days age where it’s like it all hit her at once. By the way nothing bad happened in between that should have made her scared of me. Now every time I enter the room I notice pretty heavy stress marks on her and during feeding she will quickly take the bug from me and run behind the wood in the tank like she is terrified of me. I know this could be normal for a new dragon but it worried me because she was so sweet and barely ever had stress mark for the first 4-5 days she was here until a few days ago when it kind of clicked for her and she became very stressed out. She is getting better with eating but becoming afraid of me. I’m not sticking my hands in the tank constantly or trying to pick her up very often but she seems very upset. Is there anything I should do to prevent her stress? I’ve already fixed all the minor issues with the set up so I don’t think it’s that and I don’t want her to me so stressed all the time. I’ve done so much research but behavior is so complicated and depends so much on personality, age, and environment it’s hard for me to understand why she would make such a sudden change.
