[QUOTE="Akg12saurus, post: 1993726, member: 113300"] Update for any folks that are in the first few months of being a parent to a beardie, who is just not comfortable with you and are looking for taming hope... I've had Gosha for over 3 months now (he is about 6 and half months now) and with patience, persistence and love and advise from knowledgeable folks here and other posts, he has turned a new leaf. He now lets me pick him up and reach in and pet him with or without a treat. IMO this change has to do with 1. persistent and daily contact/cleaning 2. hand feeding 3. and almost nightly cuddle sessions on my chest where I pet him to get him used to my touch In addition to all of the above, after a rough handling session or two I resorted to treats as my go to to get him to come out of his viv and directly into my hand, instead of chasing him around. Now, I no longer use the treats that way, but it did ensure that the start of our interaction was a very pleasant one. Final note, another benefit has been the warmer weather in the northeast on some days, which has enabled us to go outside where he happily potties and general soaks up the sun for half an hour or so. So what I am trying to say is, don't lose hope and give your dragon the love and patience they deserve and I hope you have a similar outcome. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
