I am already a momma to a leopard gecko of 3yrs. Now I finally have my dragon say hello to Toothless. Question the pet store said no handling for 3 days is this true? I completely understand the stress factor. But what about maybe 15mins?

Here's the final setup. Im just really excited about having this baby.
Hi there. Toothless looks adorable. :love5: Congratulations.
As far as handling a new beardie, it depends on how they react. Some are very nervous and handling stresses them out even more. Others are ok with it and I don't see any reason why you couldn't give it a try to see how he feels about it. Little ones can jump very quickly so please be careful about that. Let us know how it goes.
Tried a couple of times yesterday just in like 5 min increments with no issues. He didn't hiss or black beard me. He did open his mouth a couple of times i just popped a piece of veggie in. First full day was very interesting.
Welcome to the wonderful world of bearded dragons, a land of mystery, enchantment, cuddles, love and, worry! A magical realm where things always seem to change in an instant and, the moment you think you have it all figured out, the rules change! You think you own your dragon?, Ha Ha....guess again..... Like it or not, you are now a slave, lol!!!
Looks like you have done your homework before crossing that mystical barrier into the dragon kingdom, good job! Toothless is a cutie!
