So, I just got a bearded dragon (his name is Nacho) and he's been with me for about 2-3 days. This is my first ever reptile, so I'm new to this. I believe he is a juvie (about 10-11 inches long and probably about 7-10 months old). He seems to be very comfortable in his new home, he loves his basking spot and he runs around all over the place when I put the crickets in.
I have trouble understanding his body language, he hasn't gaped or puffed up at me so far. He is extremely squirmy when I pick him up. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle him and get him used to me? Also how often should I handle him? Should I give him a few more days? His tank is in my bedroom and I've been studying at my desk right next to him and I've been talking to him. I've handled him a few times.
I just want him to be comfortable so I can start taking him out.
Thanks
