Hello!
So, Saturday I purchased a 7 month old beardie from an online ad. We brought him home and it was obvious that he had not been handled much, trying to bite me when I went to pick him up, hissing, puffing up, black-bearding. It might’ve a bit early and this could be due to relocation stress, but any tips on how to make him a bit more social or tame? Thanks in advance. (By the way his temps and set up are all correct now, they were off at first but I fixed it)
Also, (don’t know if this is relevant or not) but I think the previous owners got bored of him and didn’t take care of him too well, his cage hadn’t been cleaned in a while and everything was dirty.
