Leash is the only thing that comes to mind.

They're not dogs, they don't really learn commands. As said prior the only real way to confine them to an area like that is with a leash, tho I never got my 4 to accept a leash. They all freaked and tried to about kill themselves to get loose from it.

how old is your dragon? babies are just babies and no matter what aren't going to sit still. Rorschach doesn't like me to pick him and runs away all the time even though i handle him like 10-30 a day everyday for the past month. He's 7 weeks old

 

[javier]

yeah,I agree with what was said earlier.don't leash them,an do you have any pics of your dragon?

I got a leash thinking that I could put it on my beardie and let him out and wander so far on the leash..... BAD idea.... he struggled against the leash and kept making it tighter on him and started freaking out. Havent used the leash yet. I have to say I am not very good and letting him out because I have so many things he can run under and it would be very difficult to get him out.

If your are talking about a young beardie, there is nothing you can do about them running around. It is in their nature to run around and explore. If he is real active, be careful about setting him on anything high such as a chair or your bed without supervision. He will bolt and unfortunately beardies do not have great depth perception and will take flying leaps off of anything and everything. You could always try making some sort of a play area in your room with baracades so that he cannot escape and get lost. This way he can have some space to free roam without the worry.
