Today, my girlfriend got home, and my beardie was dancing all over the glass, so we took him out, and fed him. THE MOMENT he went back into the tank, he went DARK. We both had to go to the store, so we left. When we came back, he was still super dark, and when I tried to pick him up, he puffed up, and opened his mouth. Now this isn’t the first beardie I’ve had who got aggressive. So I slowly inched my hand from his tail to his body, and tried to pick him up, and he bit me.
He is impossible to pick up, because he puffs up and lunges to bite you.
My question is why and how do I fix it? We just had a huge cold front move in where I’m living. Yesterday, it was a high of 60, and today it’s a high of 35. Could it be the temp change, barometric pressure, or he’s getting to those teen ages where he gets....uh...sexually aroused? He is also laying very flat on his log.
How can I fix this? Should I just put gloves on to not get bit, and just not take his attitude? Should I ground him? Lol
This is very similar with what I'm going through (ZaRDoZ is close to same age) except that I'm finding him in the back corner doing his "worshiping the plant god" thing instead of his usual basking. If I pick him up to put him atop basking mountain, he kinda freaks until I get ahold of him and put him up there. Sometimes he jumps off, and sometimes he'll stay.JohnVLillywhite":y9ri1pei said:My beardie's lights turn on at 7:15am every morning, and by 8:00 he is out basking, bright, and happy. Today, we was in his corner at 10:00am, and I tried to move him, and he flared up. I put him on his basking area, and he TOOK OFF, and ran away and hid in the corner.
It does have a reflector. He's is fine now. Just thinking it was a couple days of temperamental hormones.KarrieRee":32oq1z8v said:Questions
I did actually just grow out my beard more than normal...So if that's an actual thing, maybe he got intimidated?Linzloohoo":32oq1z8v said:Questions
He seems to be fine now. Just seems like an attitude problem for a couple days.HemiLeo":32oq1z8v said:Questions
