Hey folks I just brought home a 1 1/2 year old BD today and he is the family pet. My daughter 5 1/2 really likes him and is delicate with him but I was a bit concerned when Spikey got scared in the 60 gallon home we bought him today. He puffed up and opened his mouth a few times.
I read a few comments not to worry about this behavior, which was my first thought but a couple of people did say their BD Lizard bit them. I did not think the BD would ever bite my kids when I bought it so I suppose I am looking for some reassurance from the experianced members.
I really love Lizards / reptiles and it has been 9 years since I have had one so I was really excited to get one again and now that we brought spikey home I was worried I may have been missinformed that there was little risk of a BD biting my kids.
Any support out there?
Thanks,
Chuck
