okay...im just wondering, do you have a UVB flourescentlight and a basking light? get rid of that green sand...thats calci sand and can cause death in dragons!! get wheat bran, sifted playsand (not preferred, but works), or paper towels or repti carpet.



what are your temps? what are you feeding it?



anyway, as for handling, ALWAYS be persistant, dont drop him or back off if he hisses or bites, you want to show your dominacnce. In time he will see you as a higher person in the chain and be submissive, and possibly after that developing a bond with you. If you have some wax worms, or his favorite green or fruit, try hand feeding that, and bit by bit he wil come to likwe you. ALSO he may be scared of you if you copme from ABOVE in the cage, always come from one of his sides or the front, as he will feel less threatened. Good luck, hope i helped a little.
