Hello All!,
Wasn't sure where to post this but thought it might fall under Behavior, if not, please move this to the correct forum please!
So I just got my first bearded dragon. Her name is Faranth, about 5 months old.
This is our first day together. She is understandably nervous and scared!. She keeps hiding and poking her cute lil nose above the wood to look at me and what is going on. Her viv is a 40 gallon, front open/close doors, repti sun 10.0 uvb with the basking temp maxing out at 109 on top of the wood measured with a temp laser gun. I put in 2 small clean wash cloths that I slept with last night because I heard using something with your scent on it helps them get used to you. Is that correct?
I'm also wondering when would be a good time to try to start handling her? The breeder I got her from said she had a very nice demeanor and loved baths, in fact, she played in her baths.
When I do start handling her, how should I go about it? I don't want to scare her more than she already is!
Thanks everyone!
