So I got my bearded dragon from a pet store a couple months ago. I try to work with him but hes aggressive and it's such a bummer..anyone have issues with an aggressive juvenile that becomes a more relaxed adult? I dont reward his behavior by putting him back. I don't make scared jerky motions. He will open his mouth and hiss but I pet him anyways or hold him. He will eat food from my hand and drinks water that I drop on his nose or he will lick it off my.finger. I'm trying my best. Any help or anyone deal with this have any hope for me and my spyro?

Hello, when I got my bearded dragon Iris she was very aggressive but with a lot of work and patience you can get them to be tame. I would not suggest taking them out of the cage till they're comfortable with your hand in the cage then just keep putting your hand closer and closer everyday making sure that he or she is comfortable. Then try petting and then picking up, my bearded dragon was tamed with in a couple weeks but every bearded dragon is different.
