How much should I be handling my baby Bearded Dragon lizard?
Hi, if you have only just got him then allow him a few days of peace so that he gets over the stress of the move and then start by not actually handling him but try to encourage him to come to you with small food treats, this will build trust first and let him know that you are a good thing and not a threat. You will find that he quickly learns about your hand and he will start to climb on to you and you are then pretty much there, also talk gently to him and make lots of eye contact. Once you reach this stage you can and should handle him every day slowly lengthening the time he spends out as he gets older, from just a few minutes to start with to as long as an hour by the time he is 6 months old. Hope this helps and good luck.
