My Beardie is attacking me

[Vinnie223]

I came home from getting the wife and I picked him up out of his cage as usual. As I went out side to check the mail (first time outside since we moved) he leaped across the garden! :shock: Ran into the corner of my house and flared up at me black beard and all. Opening mouth and bite me twice even, had to use a thick old shirt of mine to pick him up. Now he wont even let me touch him at all, or get close to his cage. Can someone please help me out here, I do not know what to do with him.

WOW! I have only had mine beard me once, and it was my fault for startling her. Hope he calms down for you.

He was most likely scared and hasn't gotten over it yet. My male dragon never bearded or bit, but once bringing him outside something spooked him and he was not happy. I'd say just give him some time and he will be ok.

yes he is kinda calm right now and I will post any changing effects. He bearded me when i tried to bribe him with a strawberry his favorite snack. :|

Some freak out when outside. He was running for his life. You comming up on him he thought you were going to eat him so he did what he could to fend you off. It might take him a while to settle down. He might not beable to go outside. Sounds like he has a real fear. If you do you might want to put a leash on him so he dosnt run away.

Ok then, yeah he did the same thing again this morning. :? He didnt do this before but oh well then. Guess no walks together then.

How old is he?

 

[Vinnie223]

To be honest I do not know, i adopted him about 5 months ago. He is about 11 in long. :?
