After searching for one for a while, I finally brought home my beardie this morning
For one who was raised in captivity, though, he's being unexpectedly aggressive (flattening out and starting to puff out his beard when I try to pick him up, etc). Apparently his previous owner handled him, so this seems odd. Could it just be the stress of being in a new place?
For what it's worth, he is about 8'' long nose to hind legs (in other words, excluding tail), and I have him in a 3' x 1.5' enclosure with a uvb light on top, a hide, water bowl, and a bowl of collard greens. As far as temps go, not quite sure yet - I put a digital thermometer in about 45 minutes ago and I think it's still adjusting.
Planning on leaving him along for the next day or so to let him adjust but I really would like to be able to handle him at some point :]
