Um mixed moods

Hello my Bearded Dragon is starting to feel like a big shot but sometimes is laid back when I pick him up to hold him for example I just held him and he tried to bite me five times.

And this morning he was being sweet I was watching videos on youtube with him and he was very calm and sweet so little help cause I am stumped and I did the research?

sounds like he has bi-polar disorder lol. Make sure he is as comfortable as he was when you were watching youtube, and your not having quick movements that scare him. They only bite as a defence mechanism (or if your hand gets in way of thier food) so he must be stressed out about something.

The only times our last beardie would bite is when he thought it was food....

Maybe he smelled food on you where he tried to bite or something looked to him like it was food. It could be the defense mechanism but he could also think it is food.

Our guy attacked our eyelashes a couple of times! lol Thought they were little black bugs with the movement LOLOL. So you can't be sure.

Just be really gentle and don't make sudden moves?

Hope it gets better......

How old is your beardie? My friend has a male and when he reached sexual maturity he got a little moody. Biting and charging her when she tried to take him out. Unfortunately I can't say if he worked out his issues as shortly after our friendship ended.
