chilly dog, im going to teach you something about bearded dragons, i had heaps as a kid running around my house.
this works on a lot of lizards, but not blue tongues for some reason.
roll him on his back and rub his tummy gently, you will put him into a trance and he will just lie there motionless. its freaky but cool! the more you do this less he will find you a threat.
do you feed him live food?
btw our family cat is always cranky, it was an orphan on a building site.
its 18 years old in this post, looking great for her age. perhaps its the name my brother gave it to her.
spud!
