[QUOTE="hdochow, post: 1997483, member: 110661"] how long have you had him? it sounds like he is pretty young still so patience is key. what we did was just reach in for a little scratch or pet when we walked by. didn't try to pick him up. eventually he got used to it and now he wants to snuggle all the time! did you go to pet him from above or the side? they have a natural reaction when it is from above. they consider it a predator. for that part just give him some space tonight and then keep doing what you were doing before. what type of mesh do you have on top of the tank? that will determine the distance the basking decor needs to be under the uvb light. smaller mesh means it needs to be closer than if it is a wider mesh. your temperatures sound good, but a digital probe thermometer is more accurate than an IR temp gun. they don't read well off of certain materials. so the not gaping could be from the temps being just a little off. they don't always do it either. usually when they are the perfect temp and are regulating to stay that way. eating greens is awesome! a lot of dragons won't eat them when they are young. it is good to always have them in there though so there is an option for munching when desired.
