so, i went to pet my dragon and he went balistic, ran around like crazy, wouldnt let me get close to him, i slowly put my finger up to him and he puffed up and made this little whistling noise at me, so i backed off, gave him a few minutes to himself, then i came back, and i started talking to him, i told him "it's ok, i'm not going to hurt you, i just want to pet you, i just want to be your friend, you can trust me" things like that, and he calmed down. then i tried giving him mealworms from my hand, he wouldnt take it at first, but after i told him it was ok and i wasnt gonna hurt him, he took it, he did this four times, and then after that wouldnt take anymore. is it possible he can really understand me? i try not to be afraid around him cuz i kno he can pick up on that, but i kinda cant help it, i've been bit by a reptile before and it hurt bad, so after that i had allways been kinda careful about picking up reptiles. whenever he puffs up or suddenly runs away outta nowhere, i get kinda startled, i'm workin on not being so afraid around him.
