Hello, speaking from personal experience I have never had this problem. My beardie has always been calm, never aggressive or anything like that. However his appetite is pretty poor. My cousins beardie is very vicious but he is a great eater. Maybe their wild instincts help them eat? Idk it seems to have some correlation. I'd rather have a feisty beardie though then one who never eats. If you keep handling him I'm sure hell get used to it and not mind so much. You can maybe even try putting winter gloves on until he realizes that when he bites it doesn't get a reaction. Thats my two cents. Some others on here have better experience with this than I do.

Hi I'm new to beardies,we just got our baby about a month ago. (he's really my son's but I've become very attached to him. he is so sweet. But getting to your question, we have a leopard gecko who acts the same way, since we got him almost a year ago. What people told me was to keep putting our hands in the tank everyday until he's not afraid. We are doing that and he has gotten better, but we still can't pick him up. That is why we got our dragon,my son wanted to be able to interact with his pets. I hope this helps. Good Luck! :wink:

Trust I think will come. Try snuggling, it usually calms them. : )
