Hi , We are new to owning a bearded dragon and opted for an adult male (2 years old). He was fine in the store..we were able to hold him. After getting him home if we reach into his cage to pet him ...he puffs up and turns black and hisses. I have learned already that he doesn't bite so I pick him up anyways. But he tries to get away most of the time and seems afraid. Should we let him have a few days to adjust before picking him up? Also, should we have gotten a baby instead to get used to bearded dragons. I hope that we didn't make a mistake by being new to the bearded dragons and getting an adult. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
THanks!
