I rescued my Now sweet Sammy in June of this year.And when he came to us he had major trust issues with humans on top of his dehydration,retained shed and hunger.The last 3 were easy fixes,the trust thing took some time.I talked to him constantly,the t-shirt in the tank,hand feed.One time he got my finger instead of the worm,I didn't freak and he realized I didn't taste good and let go,lol..After 4 months of working with Sammy,I can take him out of his tank without a fuss(still will pancake a bit).But I have learned not to wear a black top when I am going to be interacting with Sammy or our other beardie Leonard as Sammy will black beard me and Leonard will go and hide.I also found out not to wear nail polish(especially blacks,greys,browns) unless I want beardie's mouths coming their way,lol..And certain scents(body washes,perfumes and such) tend to make my boys want to try to take a nibble.
I feel like a tard you guys...
I never once thought that he might have been hungry ):
I feel like a lousy parent.
I fed him and he didn't bite me...
I have come to the conclusion he bites when he's hungry..

im a terrible mother of a disabled child
>.<
(no offense anyone, I am disabled myself)
little dude has been doing much better.
except around sparticus, roshi and he has yet met diesel..
he puffs his beard and turns black.
sparticus did nothing he even looked away.
I find this odd for sparticus will try and rip roshi's throat out if he see's her.
(sibling rivalry?)
and little dude also has seen his reflection too today.
-.- will these acts of violence reseed when he gets older?
the biting when hungry?
(I find that to be helpful actually)
the puffing and beard color turning when he see's the other 3?
