Biting Dragon

Hi all, so I have a 3 month old who is full of energy, good energy. Always liked being held. I went away for 2.5 weeks and now he doesn’t want to be held. He is biting. Again, he is super healthy. How do I train him again to be held? Start with a glove in case he bites? What are the steps?

Hello, you want to be very gentle and just slowly reach your hand in there till he gets comfortable. Then slowly reach your hand closer and closer to your bearded dragon till you can pet him. Then try to pick him up, this process should take about one to two weeks. But you don't want to go too fast and you don't want to traumatize your bearded dragon and make it hate people forever.
