Dragon's are meant to be hand fed. Try letting him eat from a bowl or hunt his food like he's meant to do. Once he starts doing this you'll be able to feed him treats from your hand but not a meal.

As for the picking up part, your dragon is going through what we call the "Teenager stage" :p My baby is in the same stage right now as well. Don't let it worry you it will pass with time and patience. Keep holding him! Don't let him get away with anything! They will try to hiss, puff, some might even try to bite in this stage but stay confident and keep handling daily. Don't back off when they do this or they will think, "Oh if I do this I don't have to come out, sweet!"

Keep at it. Leave a TShirt you've worn in the tank, so he knows the smell is safe.
Use some garden gloves for hand feeding if you have a really vicious biter - but don't let him tell YOU what to do - you tell HIM.
I've had to retrain a couple of bad tempered rescues in my time - just keep persisting in doing what you want to do, and make sure to offer him nice treats when he's being good and when he's had extra handling time. He'll soon learn to behave :)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
