What's wrong with mr dragon

[Granitethedragon]

So I adopted my bearded dragon from petco about 3 days ago he seems to be very nice but every time I pick him up he kicks and trows his tail around I'm kind of scared and im not sure what to do I don't want to be scared to hold him please help me

If he's throwing his tail around he probably feels off balance. They really don't like to be handled in a way that puts them off balance and it causes them to flail. The best way to hold them is to use two hands and make sure you're supporting both hands and both feet at the same time.

If your beardie is bigger (adult size) you could let em sit on your arm between your wrist and elbow. My beardie prefers this as she can wrap her legs around my arm and her tail rests almost flat...only problem is she doesnt like to let go! Lol.
