Beardies love to be handled and dig the attention. I think you may handle him more than he is used to. You need to gain his trust first before you can handle him around all over the place. What you can do if he is trying to bit you right when you are grabing him is like any animal treats. They seem to love superworms. You could give him a superworm. Then just pet him like on his head and down his back. Get him used to being touched. Then pick try and pick him up. If he lets you then just hold him for a min or two like on your shoulder so he is comfy. Then put him back. Then after a little bit you do it again. Over a week or two try and work more time holding him. Do you have other animals? If you have other animals he may smell them or you may smell like them and he could be getting upset over that.
