surprised I don't see more posts in this topic! well maybe not that surprised as mostly beardies are docile nice animals... but theres always a bad one in the bunch here and there! My experience with a bad beardie has a somewhat happy end at least. My landlord's son also lives in the building. He is 22 years old and gets sick a lot so he doesn't leave the house much. He does like to come down stares to our apartment and see our animals though. One day about 10 months ago he decided that he would also like to have a bearded dragon. We took him to the best local pet store (tropical fish & reptiles, it's called), and he picked out the cutest little baby beardie (had to be a couple months old). He was just an average beardie, gray-ish with a bit of yellows and some orange near his ears. Beautiful little guy... or so we thought. Our landlord's son got him home, set him up the nicest tank and lighting. He ate crickets, worms, greens... basked in the sun... had a good ol time. But, when it came to handling him, he was nuts! Our neighbor told us that he would puff up, gape his mouth, and try to run every time. I tend to be pretty good with animals, they tend to like me too, but when I tried with his beardie it was to no avail. This beardie was NUTS. My landlord's son gave him the appropriate name of "Rock."
a couple months into his having Rock around, his doctor informed him that because of his illness (sickle-cell) he couldn't own any herps (bacteria on their skin could make him very ill). so low and behold we gained a 4th beardie to our family. The landlord's son still comes to visit our reptiles, but he cannot hold them... Rock ate well, was very active, and was very beatiful with his colorful markings.... BUT, as I said before he was NUTS!!! I would try and try and try and try to hold him, talk to him softly, stroke his forehead, give him tasty worms, and so on. Sometimes it would seem that he had finally relaxed in my hands, but the second I would let up a bit on my grip....... off he would go! running, puffing, gaping at us!! I still didn't lose hope though. I kept on trying every day to handle him gently, speak to him and so on.. but months went by and I started to realize this beardie was just BAD
with already 3 established (nice) beardies in the home, we decided to find Rock a new home. A good friend of ours had an extra tank. He has a nice room with many fish tanks, fish breeding projects, and a giant tortoise as well. after meeting our nicer beardies he decided that he would love to try and tame Rock.
Now about 10 months later, I went to visit Rock about a week ago. While Rock is still a BAD beardie, he is at least a happy beardie with a HUGE tank, plenty of light and heat.... plenty to eat, and a new human friend who still puts up with his attitude. Another funny surprise, is now that Rock is old enough, I noticed that he seemed a bit small. I grabbed him up and lifted the tail, and low and behold we have a FEMALE! all that aggression, I guess we just assumed she was a male! now this is one BAD Bitc$h!! But at least she has a nice home and plenty to eat! I feel bad sometimes, like I gave up on her, or I abandoned her, but I have to remind myself, that she would of been more ignored in my home with my nicer beardies to attend to. At least now she is the #1 beardie to a nice guy who gives her plenty of love despite her bad attitude!
