    Lets Talk Chinese Water Dragons

    I need handling advice. My little CWD is only 3" long snout to vent. He's energetic and full life but when handled he's spastic and hard to hold onto. I've tried to research handling but all I've seen is that you should. I need to know specifics. How should I pick him up? How should I hold him so he feels secure and doesn't feel threatened? How often? and for how long? Right now all my attempts end with him wiggling out of my hands and raising across the floor. I want him to grow up tame and gentle so I'm all for handling but I don't know if he's terrified or just a little ADD lol I've researched care and his home is the best I can provide. He's eating well both crickets and veggies. Getting his calcium and from all appearences seems healthy.

    I'm a BP girl and this is my first lizard so I want to do it right.
