Pumpkin, Yenko & Hot Rod (UPDATED 4/21/12)

Yenko, took some time to get him out without being bit. I just got more stubborn than he was, and made sure I handled him a little more frequently...also, made sure that he was calmed down before I put him back in his viv. Easiest way to get him settled was to hold him close to my chest with my hand over him... but he is still a baby... not sure how it would work with a little older beardie... good luck!

i had to put a hand towel over charlies head today to try and get him to calm down and it worked sort of. guess he was in a mad mood because i got him out after he got done eating

Also, try picking him up right before you turn his lights on in the morning, while he is still really calm from sleeping... and also, in the evening right before you turn your lights off...it might be easier to handle him while he's sleepy... I'm not an expert, but this helped our guys get used to us when they were calm.

charlie is hard for me to reach i have to use a stool to beable to reach him.so i have my dads friend get him out and put him back in

 

[pyffersnpaws]

it's important that either you or your dad handle him frequently, so he can get used to you.... keep us updated...hopefully it'll get easier

Awesome pics! I love their bellies. They definitely don't miss mealtime.

Thanks Tazz..... no they sure don't... just glad they are growing and healthy babies

i just saw my beardie bob his head with his mouth open.

 

[pyffersnpaws]

how fun, have you held him recently?

 

[beardeddragonlover1]

yes just before he bobbed his head. wish was probably around 1:00 this afternoon \. i put him in his tank maybe around 3;00

 

[pyffersnpaws]

Was it easier to hold him today?

 

[beardeddragonlover1]

kind of. i tried to give him a bath for the first time and i dont think he liked it very much

 

[pyffersnpaws]

Bath time is fun....lol, I have 3 different personalities when it comes to bath time... one just chills.... one is running all over the tub... and another will try and climb up my arm to escape...but he just gets put back into the tub for a bit longer.

Hot Rod has a mind frame of nothing is too big for me.... He will jump up on the glass and take on all of our dogs (we have 5) yesterday I had him out for a little chirstmas photo shoot, with all the dogs out of the room...we don't take them out unless we clear out all the dogs first... but they were barking at the door... and he kept running to the door and had the look of what is going on out there... I'll find out... crazy beardie...
