I’ve had Link since Jan of 2020 when he was about 3-4 months old. I would handle him often and for the most part he didn’t mind, except trying to wriggle out to explore. As he got older, I was more hesitant to let him roam because I have a toddler who is pretty rough. I still handle him pretty regularly, but I always notice that he is so stiff/tense when I’m carrying him. When he’s had enough, he’ll try to escape my hands and start puffing up, but he’s never hissed or bitten me. Will he always be like this or should I just let him roam? I usually hold him like the pictures below.
Some beardies love handling while others are nervous. My beardie Drogon likes to sit on my chest or shoulders and isn't a fan of holding no matter how much support I provide. Try a few different ways, maybe using ur arm underneath his belly and holding him steady with your other hand.
Maybe when the baby is down for a nap your beardie can run around supervised? Make sure pets are locked up too!
