Hey guys how's everything. I got a baby dragon 6 months ago. He was 3 months old so that makes him 9 to 10 months old. He got so big and is so amazing.
But there's a thing....
If he is inside the tank, I can pet him grab him move him without any problem. I touch his beard his head etc sometimes he close his eyes sometimes no. I can grab him put him in my shoulder and no problem. I bath him once a week or two. The problem is.... If I take him out of the tank and put him in the floor or something like that, he goes super aggressive! If I tried to touch him he goes full black and big and ready to bite. I have to grab him with a towel (wich he bites) to put him back in the tank.
So...i don't know what to do. I like the look of him but honestly I chosed the beardie because I can "interact" with them. Having one just to keep him forever in a tank is sad for me and for him.
I just don't understand the change in behavior and why after this many months he is still afraid of me. Never hurted him, sometimes I hand feed him without problems, etc etc. What am I doing wrong? The basking and lighting is fine. The temperature is fine. He is eating dubia roaches and some rocket and watercrees leaves.
Im just out of ideas now to make him "friendly" or to enjoy staying with me.
