Hi,
So I have a baby beardy and no matter what I do when I try to get him out of his cage he freaks out and opens his mouth at me, blackens his beard, and hisses. When I move my hand in front of his cage, but not try to grab him, he just opens his mouth but doesn't hiss. Nothing in his enclosure has changed aside from me moving 1 log but I did that last week, and he just started doing this the past few days. I've already had him for 2 months now and he never used to do this, he used to be the nicest little dragon, but now he's like the devil and will bite me. Once I get him out of the cage and into my hands (if i can) then) then he's fine and doesn't hiss or anything anymore. His husbandry is correct he has a 75 ambient with a 110 degree basking spot with a 20 gallon tank. He's got plenty of room considering his size. He doesn't eat everyday, which I find odd. He used to eat crickets every day but now I've tried switching over to calci worms and dubia's. so i dontt have to deal with those jumpy little guys and sometimes he will eat them, and sometimes he wont. So does this mean he doesn't like them and i should sttick with crickets?
Thank you for your responses!
