So my 4 month old beardie has been the sweetest thing in the world. Would always fall asleep on my girlfriend’s chest every night. Handled every single day. Hand fed every other day. We have not changed anything with his setup.
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
