So how long is this post-brumation fit going to last??
My boy was 2 years old in Sept I believe? He just came fully out of brumation and is eating much more and is wide awak. The problem is, my sweet, tame, calm, gentle dragon has gone with the wind!
Someone told me his behavior is normal and he will eventually get over it. Can some others verify this? Is it his hormones?
He's all over the enclosure constantly clawing up the sides and jumping up and down from his ledges. He seems annoyed by his crickets. He doesn't want me to pick him up or hold him. He's started tail whipping a little until I actually get him scooped up and then just continuously tries to get away (sharp claws hurt!) He will still take greens and worms from my hand but otherwise he's being a complete jerk this entire last week.
How long does this last??

The worst thing you could do is leave him be. It'll be harder to tame him later. Just make sure you don't put him up when he's being bad. He'll start acting up when he wants to be put up, which is not positive behavior. 
Best of luck. 
There's no fix-it magical cure (sadly), it's all about positive reinforcement and holding out when he's being a brat.
She is so precious!
