Hello,
My name is Jesse and I'm new to this page so I am sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Anyway, I've had my bearded dragon for about 6 months. He is a juvenile and is about 15inches long. He doesn't hiss or try to bite me. Just every time I pick him up to hold him, he sits for about 30 seconds and then runs away. I'm not sure why. In the past I've held him for about 15mins but I haven't seen any improvement. I read online that the babies are more skittish, but I haven't seen anything about juveniles being like that. I'm wondering if maybe when he's an adult he will stop running away? Any advice would be very helpful as I am really wanting a great companion. I am not sure how to put a picture of him on here so I'm sorry.
Thanks
