alanmin4304 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Just my opinion but I think they are all reptiles and should only be handled enough to make handling simple for you and them. If you want a pet to cuddle you should get a cat. I have beardies only, and they can be picked up when needed without them panicking but they don't get "petted".

reptilez Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 i was only going to hold it not to much maybe once a week but only for a short amount of time.Which onewould you reccomend? how long can beardies stay out of the cage before needing to go back in their warm tank?

alanmin4304 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 If you handle them a little when young they lose their fear and are then easier to handle. In this warm weather we put our pair outside in a cage in the sun and they don't panic. I only have beardies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Reptile eggs cannot realy be sent through the post. I you don't turn birds eggs they die and if you do turn reptile eggs they die. All my baby beardies are spoken for sorry. There will be a few for sale as it is a good time of the year for breeding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 i rekon water dragons are the cleaner than the others cause there toilet trained lol just gota clean the water out better than geeting stinky poos in your substrate. i use to try handle my water dragons alot but now there bigger im giving up on it as they scratch me far to much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 putting a filter on the WDs works well, no worse than turtles all make good pets with regular handling from young BDs would be the most interactive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herperjosh Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 i have a bts and they are not the friendliest mine hisses at me when i take him out but dosn't do anything but after a while he starts squirming around and scratches me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 most likely hj your intimidating the skink or trying to hold onto it maybe stressing it. I like to think all animals/herps dont forget things. So best to be calm but in control at the same time letting them do what they do, and after a while they may end up with a bit of respect for you :lol: blues seem to like to walk all over you, not so much be held still in your hand, they shouldnt hiss all that much really, can be agro things but generally laid back chaps. Is my understanding they hiss to wear of an intruder/threat or if they get a fright etc. all 3 lizards are amazing, blue tongues i find easier care, i think the dragons are a lil more work but maybe more fascinating, could watch them chasing down and chomping back food all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soloman5 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I think water dragons are great abit of work in setting them up but once done a piece of cake to look after, cleaning is easy just have a filter in their water. I let mine out regularly, just to roam in the lounge I don't pick them up but let them climb up onto me which they do when hand feeding them, and heaps of fun to watch. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougstark Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Eastern bearded dragons need less heat than the other bearded dragons, but are less docile, but I believe they are easier to handle than the water dragons. Just my opinion as I only have eastern beardeds at the moment. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
