Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some advice?
I have a young beardie at home that's roughly about a month and a half old; He's been living with me for about a week and a half and, so far, has been a very social little dragon.
Once he got acclimated to his new home, I have taken to handling the little guy at least once to twice a day so that he gets use to being held and given affection. Loves his back rubs and gentle scritches on the head but there's some behavior I'd like to inquire about.
One is...well, he doesn't seem to like heights very much. He goes into a panic and flails around in my hand a little when I lift him in and out of his tank and carry him a short distance but settles down once I sit down and hold him level. Is there a way to help with that?
Another is he's taken to closing the eye facing me when I'm by his tank just kinda talking with him or when I'm holding him. What does that usually mean?
