So today makes one week since I've had my beardie. (She"s yet to have a name..) She hasn't let me pick her up once since I got her, accept to put her in the tank.. She seams to be doing good, very alert and eating well. I have her in a 75 gallon tank split in the middle with cardboard for now.. She allows me to get as close as I want, she's even eating some veggies from my hand. I place my hand next to her in the tank everyday without her moving, but as soon as I go to rub her back or touch her at all she takes off. I want to be able to handle her or atleast be able to place her somewere for feeding for now but she won't allow it. I try being firm when she's gaping at me by not moving, but as soon as I touch her she's gone..
Is there anything I can do for her to get use to me? She's only about 6 or 7 inches and currently shedding, which may be making things worse.. I know it'll be a pain cleaning the tank if I can't remove her to do so.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
