Work gloves, that's a good idea.
I have a female that I got about 5-6 months ago. She was 2 years old and a former breeder when I got her. She seemed calm enough when I purchased her, but as soon as I got her home she was just mean. Right away, she'd just turn her beard black when I was around. Then she started to get really thin, so I brought her to the vet. The vet treated her for coccidia and he said she had a liver problem or something. She's healthy now, and is starting to gain some weight back, but I can't touch her. If I put my hand in her tank, she flattens out, turns black, opens her mouth wide and hisses at me. She hasn't been able to get ahold of me yet, but she tries to bite every time I get near.
Anyway, I think I'll try your suggestion of wearing work gloves and just holding her, whether she likes it or not.
Just want to be sure that she won't be able to bite through some thick leather work gloves...because I know as soon as I get close enough to her she'll bite.
And just incase anybody is wondering, no, I'm not mean to my dragons. I've got 4 other adults and 15 babies that all love me :P.
Thanks!!
