Hey Everyone, I registered here today and am looking for advice.
First off, I have no idea why I am so terrified of it (I don't know the gender yet). We have some Leopard Geckos (whom have crypto ) and I am terrified to pick them up as well. Before anyone tries to tell me about crypto, I know not use the same stuff from the Geckos for the beardie. It got all brand new things, nothing from them.
I picked him (from now on the beardie will called him) up once to move him from his box to the newly setup cage. He was semi okay with it, but this was before I knew that he wanted his all his feet covered and he jumped as soon as he was in the cage.
Forward to last night, I was trying to pick him up, but every time he moved a millimeter, pulled my hand way knocking in the tank or the husbandry. I have no idea why I'm like this. I got so frustrated with myself last night I punched a hole in the wall, and I have never done anything like that.
We're getting a pair of Sugar Gliders and I can pick them up and not worry about it at all. They move around, climb on me, bite me, and make noises. Doesn't bother as much it at all.
I can pet him and he lowers his head and flattens out and seems to relax, but even then I can't seem to get over trying to pick him up. Maybe I'm scared to get bitten, but can anyone help me get over this fear?
Edit: We have decided on Izzy for a name.
