Bit me!

And I have NO idea what for. He was sat on my leg (like he had been for an hour) while we were watching tv, and I was stroking his beard like always. Next thing I know, he's biting me and visibly putting quite some beardie strength into it. Then he let go and looked at me like 'What, I shouldn't do that?'. He's never shown any inclination to bite, though he did wake up in one HELL of a mood this morning. He'd seemed to have calmed down to his usual self, but I guess he's still p****d at me for something.

I've noticed that some dragons have a tendency to open their mouth if stroked on the face or lips, maybe you got to close to his mouth and he didn't like it much. Doesn't sound like he was upset at all and I wouldn't worry unless he suddenly turns mean.

Good point I have found no matter the dragon I am holding, I can rub one side of their mouth but, never both at the same time. They don't like it.

It's certainly possible, but I've always stroked his beard and all over his head really. The worst I ever get from him is squirming or shying away. He's not shedding, though I wish he would, 'cause he's stained red all over from the sand his old owner had him on. He also head bobbed for the first time (that I've seen) a few minutes ago.

I'll be keeping a close eye on him, and thanks for the replies!

How old is he?

I was told he's about 4, but they didn't even give the poor guy a name, so who knows really. I'd guess he's about 17 inches now. He knows the difference between food and fingers, because I hand feed him often, without a single bite.

I'm guessing a sperm plug could make a dragon cranky right? I gave him a bath earlier and there it was. He seems more lively now too.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
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.
