We have had our bearded dragon for about 2 years now (since she was a baby). She used to let us pick her up & interact with her & was happy. As she has gotten older she has gotten just plain mean, especially towards myself and our 8 month old. We aren't able to pick her up very often and give her attention because she doesn't allow it, but yet will claw at her glass like she wants out. She turns black and hisses at me and today she lunged at me through her glass and when I tried to clean some poo out of her tank she puffed up, showed her teeth and tried to bite me! When ever our baby gets near her tank she acts this way too, so I won't allow her to be out of her tank because I don't want her to do anything to the baby. My husband is the only one who can handle her, but the past few weeks even he can't pick her up because she is so hostile. I don't understand what went wrong, is it the presence of our baby? If so, will things get better?
