I brought my juvenile beardie home early April. I gave her a few days to herself to adjust. She stared to let me hand feed her and even touch he within the 2 week. A few days later she allowed me to pick her up and take her a bath she was calmer than she'd usually be. I read that tanks should be bigger so I switched her from a 20 gallon to a 75 gallon. Even after the enclosure move she still hand fed and allowed me to touch her. Soon as I thought we were bonding she started to hiss and bite my fingers a few days later. She wont let me touch her without biting me. I have to basically corner her in to handle her. She still takes food out of my hands and even crawls on my hands to eat it, but its like any other movement freaks her out. I don't approach her from above, I take slow movements and is around a quiet space. The pet store workers told me to just keep picking her up everyday but it seems as that's not working at all because its getting worse as I pick her up everyday. I also read online that it takes 3 days for juveniles to get used of handling but I've been holding her since about 2 weeks after I got her. Do anyone have tips or advice?
