Okay, perhaps I'm being a tad dramatic. :roll: Luna is approximately 5 to 7 months old now (I would guess) and roughly 11 inches long. Maybe 12 nose to tail. When I open her enclosure to reach for her she bolts, runs around frantically, puffs her beard and will even attempt to bite me if I'm not vigilant. I have to get her by the tail and scoop her from underneath which I hate doing but she leaves me no choice. She really seems to dislike being interacted with and will have a black beard the entire time I have her out. Once she's in my hands she will normally calm down for short periods of time and not attempt to wriggle out of my grip but I dare not let her out of my hands for fear that she will bolt. Is this normal for a beardie her age? I've always heard they're so tame and easy going but she really seems to dislike interacting with me.
I've had her for probably 2.5 months now and watched her grow substantially into the little cutie she is becoming but I just fear that she will never calm down. Thoughts? Experiences? She is in a 55 gallon tank with a screen lid, 3 halogen basking lights, and two 18 inch Reptisun 10.0 T8s.
