hey again,
did a search on this but didnt find much the same -
For a few weeks; every time i put my hand out to pat or hold one of my beardies (I've seperated them) he opens his mouth really wide, threatening to bite me (which i dont mind if he does coz i wanna see what its like ) and then when i pick him up he runs away non stop until i get him and then he trys hes hardest to get away from me. somtimes, after i catch him a few times he finally lets me hold him for a minute but thats pretty rare - and i keep doing it but he hasnt improved lol
i also try giving him more food and then picking him up but that doesnt help..
he's about 8 months old now and was the dominant male so i had to seperate them.. the other ones fine with letting me pick him up but yeah..
what should i do to make him fine with being on your shoulder and letting u handle him etc??
heres some pics too - (he usually opens his mouth heaps wider btw )
any info would be really good!!
thanks,
Riley
