V and his behavior.

[MKA]

V is 9 weeks old today! YAY!

Im honestly stating to believe that V just gets depressed when i leave. Whenever i leave my room or come back into it, V is always sitting in his hammock with his hands on the glass like he's begging me to just be as close to him as i can. I am in the process of devising a way (ive been sewing since before i knew how to tie my shoes, have a small biz license for clothing & accessories and went to college for apparel design) to take him with me when i leave AND keep him super comfy and warm when were out in this cold weather. Ive also been thinking about adopting a female tank mate, so that he isnt lonely when i leave or cant be up near him... But im worried that he might just give me the cold shoulder afterwards, so im going to do whatever i can to strengthen our bond first (dragons seem to be bought in spurts up here, and there are none for sale or adoption that i can find right now, so itll have to wait as it is).

Does anyone else have a dragon that gets upset when he or she cant see you?

He doesnt like my fiance either- he got SUPER mad when my fiance held him a few weeks ago and he very quickly jumped out his hand (which was in V's terrarium, so it wasnt a major jump or anything more than a few inches).

Just curious if this is normal, or if i have a hatchling that will one day be my guard dragon

my baby beardie does something similar... sits on the rock it the front of his tank staring out at us like he's begging for attention... dunno if maybe babies just get bored more easily and like more attention - my adult really couldn't care less n spends most of his time with his back to us!

also, completely off-topic but i like the name - i've got a baby corn snake called evey hammond!

Don't get V a tank mate. Beardies prefer human attention. In fact, some beardies will fight when in with other beardies. I understand wanting 2 beardies, they are wonderful pets/kids, however, in most cases, beardies shouldn't be housed together. Some people can't have their beardies out at the same time without them fighting or breeding in the case of male/female out at the same time.
