This week I'm pet sitting for my BF, while he's away on vacation with his family. I'm watching his baby Bearded Dragon, Uther, for this week, and most of next.

Anyways, Uther isn't the nicest Beardie, he's nipped my BF a few times since he got him, and me yesterday, granted, these have been when we've been hand feeding him. He's hissed (or at least I think it is... sure sounds like it) countless timse too (sidenote: If you've been nipped/bit by a Beardie, did it go numb & tingly afterwards?)

Today I got him out to soak him a bit since he's shedding, and afterwards, was giving him a few tiny pieces of squash, while he dried off. Well, I had one hand in front of the corner of the container I had him in, since he would try and escape other wise.

I noticed he was moving a little, but wasn't sure of what he'd do next...


This is what he did






! He had my heart racing! He's NEVER climbed onto anyone, and my bf has had him since Feb. Sure he's let us pick him up and such, but not for the past couple months. We've had to wait until night to try and hold him when he was more drowsy...

I'm not sure if he wanted to be held, or if he just wanted out of the container, or what.

I'm pretty sure my bf's happy with this, if not a bit jealous, it is his birthday after all

Needless to say, Uther got a couple crickets when I put him back in his tank
