Hi, I'm new to this forum, but have been wanting a bearded dragon for a while now and I will finally be getting one! :mrgreen:
my bf's mom will be giving me her bearded dragon that she has had for about 6 months or so (those are her words so I'm guessing she doesn't know her exact age) so considering the BD is 6 months + will it be hard for me to tame her? She also let me know that she's a bit of a ~B word and needs a lot of taming (that is one of her reasons of letting me have her because she doesn't have the time to tame her like one should) -- so by putting a shirt of mine for scent purposes + hand feeding her/handling her and being around her, will she warm up to me? (considering that his mom has had her for 6 months and she's been a bit mean) - It's not impossible right?
Also, I'm sure she will want to bite me - does the bite hurt? I also read that even if it bites me, I should continue to hold her that way she knows that she's not scaring me.
Any other tips? What should I expect/worry about (or not worry about)?
I just really hope she gets used to me and changes her "mean" attitude.
Thanks everyone :")
