So I just got my first ever Beardie today who I have named Pringle. He has only been home a few hours and seems a bit unsure of both his new environment and of myself. I expected him to be like this at the start though, he needs to get used to things. He has eaten some crickets and I also cut up some apple and banana but he hasn't touched them, should I be worried? Also, at the moment when I reach in to pick him up he tends to panic and run around or puff up his body at me, but when I am actually holding him in my hand or against my chest he seems to calm down a lot. How long do you think it will be until he starts to trust me more and not stress out so much?
Anyway, back to the photos, sorry for the bad quality my camera is pretty crap.
Also, as you will notice I have a particle substrate. Not sand but a woodchip type thing. I have read on this site however the possible problems with particle substrates and want to change in the future to something like a non adhesive shelf liner. In the store though they only have sand and these woodchip things so I needed to choose something for the time being until I can find a proper suitable substrate.
