Nasty Baby

[Pepper]

I've had a baby beardie for maybe almost 2 months now, and this thing is just nasty..the second I lift off his tank lid he puffs up and starts open mouthed hissing, and will not hesitate to bite me...

I've been holding him and thought it would get better with handling, but he is still as nasty as ever.

It's not that bad because he's a baby, so it doesn't hurt, but if he continues this in to adult hood.....

Will this ever go away? None of my other baby beardies have been like this...

I had one like that a long time ago. He was only aggressive like that toward me though. It got to the point where I couldn't handle him so he went to live with one of our best friends. He's totally fine with them! LOL Hopefully yours settles down!
