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.
