[Bearded dragon tamer]

Well i posted something like this before but this time my beardie has ALMOST COMPLETELY CHANGED COLORS! He has ovals under his tummy and his skin is ALOT darker. Please help

he is stressed

 

[Bill]

check all your temps .is there anything new he can see like a dog or cat.is he eating

 

[Bearded dragon tamer]

well there is a bunny near him but its below him.. i dont think he can see the bunny though

 

[Bearded dragon tamer]

is his skin being darker because he is stressed or the ovals because he is stressed?

 

[Bill]

both . is he eating, they do get that way some times then they calm down

around 10 crickets a day maybe even a little more, and he is very agressive cause when i tried to pick him up today he bite me;(

Do you hold him daily they can get aggressive if not interacted with and will become stressed

 

[Bearded dragon tamer]

no i cant cause i live in N.Y and my beardie is in N.J so he only gets handled once every 2 weeks unfortunatley :/

 

[Bill]

Oh

 

[Bearded dragon tamer]

i know-_- but while iam here ill make sure he will have a great time!

your beardie may just be stressed from a previous occurence before you even got him; do you know how he was treated wherever you picked him up from? I doubt it could be other pets, as soon as I brought my beardie home my two (large) dogs would sit with their noses planted against her cage and she would come up to look at them too, she wasn't stressed at all. Once she got her face licked accidentally by them lol

Also, it is deffinitely going to affect him if he is only handled once every two weeks, is there any way you can find someone to play with him daily while you are away? You will thank yourself for it later...

well he just doesnt like me i see him in the cage, (no circles under his belly) i pick him up or try to-_- and his skin gets dark and and thr circles appear

 

[Bill]
