Tips on bonding? Mango only sees me as a food source.. She tries to taste my hands! :p
I just wanna keep her happy, as she's 2 weeks new and maybe still a bit stressed.

My wife and I took ours out every other day and watch TV a bit at first. Like 20 min a time 3x a week the first week, then adding ten minutes a week til we got to an hour out 3x a week. Once we got to an hr 3x a week we changed it to every day an hr out. After 3 month of us doing that we can take either one of our two out anyplace with no hesitation. We love going out with ours. We just came back from a quick lunch a little while ago with pinky.
We also feed out of cage so they had an easier time getting used to us because we had to handle them to put them in thier feed bin and back. Both our dragons have bit me thinking I was food, only to look at me like I tricked them lol. Didn't hurt, and both only did it once and it wasn't aggression just testing ifid I taste good lol.

Hm, we watch tv together but she gets a bit grumpy if shes on my lap without her favorite towel she uses as a blanket oddly enough.. She loves spending a few minutes near my dog. Is it possible to take her on a walk in new york city? Or maybe bringing her in a bag/purse to a park?

As long as its not too cold I don't see why not. Just watch ppl in the city. They might get too handy. That NYC mentality usually means they don't care about your feelings as much as thier own want to touch. I'm from Kingston originally, spent much time in the city. Just don't let her get mauled and maybe like a fabric dog carrier incase she is stressed by the noise moments and lights of the big apple.

They make bearded dragon leashes if you actually want to walk in Central Park or Washington Square or the harbor patrol areas(those were my fav places)
