[QUOTE="ChileanTaco, post: 2042255, member: 118921"] Just a little suggestion: Being bitten while feeding isn't happen so easily as they grab the insects using their tongue (somewhat like how a chameleon does it). But you can also just put the insects on your palm. Generally, putting food on the palm instead of between index finger and thumb is recommended when in doubt if a pet/ animal might bite b accident. My dragon (Taco) was also very skittish at the beginning. When I just entered the room, he was sliding around his branch so he was harder to spot... It took me months until I could touch him; I started with: Opening the enclosure barely; opening it more often and then touching random things; then touching things close to him; then touching him once, just for a second, after feeding. Now I can touch him everywhere on his body (which I find important in case I would have to check anything). With my husband, he was a bit more skittish, likely because my husband is taller than me and did interact a bit less with Taco in the beginning. Now, it's about the same. And I agree on what Chris mentioned. This is the normal behavior of an animal that's alert. I also would never want Taco behaving like a "toy", and it shouldn't be like this, especially if there is a chance of being out in the public with him, having visitors, or somebody else might have to take care of him.
