i have had this bearded dragon for about two weeks and it is still scared of me. it wont let me touch it. what can i do?

Answers:

Your dragon is a reptile , they do not like or dislike people.

He will respond to ideal, warm humid conditions,

and his favorite food ( meal worms / crickets, or whatever is best for him)

Be patient ,;

don't attempt to touch him till he feels secure

it will take him some time to realize,

that you are the source, of all things good

and that have no ambitions to eat him !

also get a good book ,on bearded dragon management

and join a local reptile club , for first hand tips from experts

Good luck with your beardie , i am sure he will get more friendly soon .

try to hand feed it some crickets. and try to let it see your the one feeding him. Usally bearded dragons love crickets and thats a good way to interact with it.

Bearded dragons are considered a "puppy dog" reptile because of their ease in handling and actually seeming to enjoy it. If your baby is still frightened by you there maybe something that is still freaking it out. Being so small they do see many things as something that may want to eat them. Allow the baby to see your hand before you pick it up. Offering a food bribe is also a great way to earn trust. Silkworms and small superworms are excellent bribes. Let it sit on you while your on the pc or watching tv.
