[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1996544, member: 31715"] Hi there, Uros typically are harder to tame than beardies. Calcifer took me near a year to get tamed, although admittedly I wasn't being as consistent with my efforts as I could have been. Either way, it's the same as taming any lizard - Time, patience, and baby steps. There are no real rules or guides, but there are tips that can help. [LIST] [*]If he is really frightened of you, you can try to start interacting/holding him when he is tired/cold. They are less likely to fight/run when they are in this state. [*]Don't try to pick him up by coming overhead. Most lizards see this as a threat because it is similar to a bird. Try to bring your hand to him low and from the side. [*]Be consistent. [/LIST] If his previous owner handled him, he likely is already tamed, or will be easier to tame. I can tell you he already is acting a lot different than Calcifer did, which leads me to believe Arlo is comfortable around people, and will be quite easy to tame if he isn't already. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
