Hello, thank you for reading this! I just signed up to the forum. I was curious if anyone has had a similar situation as me. I got my beardie back in February, and I'm guessing she was born around the first of the year. She's (at least I think it's a she?) been a very sweet lizard, but about five days ago she became extremely standoffish. She won't let me hold her without struggling to run away, and she's started puffing her beard and even nodding. I know that those aren't super happy signs on her behalf. I know sometimes they are standoffish when they're shedding, but she recently did so. Maybe it's like a puberty thing? I've heard some things like that.
Even though she won't let me hold her, she is fine with being pet. So I've been doing that a couple times a day to at least have that much contact. I don't know whether I should leave her alone or not. Has anyone had anything similar to that happen with an semi-abrupt attitude change in a dragon around this age?
