I bought a bearded dragon about 1 month ago and she's fine with me handfeeding her, stroking her and let's me put my hand under her stomach and is generally a very friendly dragon(she is constantly distracting me from homework by glass surfing ?) and settled in on the first week and ate the first day I got her etg but she's still nervous so should I wait a bit longer to pick her up, I do pick her up to put her in the bath but not much more than that and am continually doing trust excersises.Also when I got her she was on snake bedding ( woodchippings ) which she hated so I've changed it but would the chippings hurt her? She is about 3yrs so would have been on it the majority of her life, also her old owners fed her spinach often so would it have had effects on her Heath? She is full grown at 21inches. And she's lived most of her life without a uva light I'm getting one soon but at the moment her vivarium is by my skylight and the blinds are open so she can get natural sunlight is this ok for now?
