Whats with Jokers attitude adjustment?

Chameleon996 Apr 29, 2004 05:33 PM

Joker is five months old eats like a pig and grows daily. Two days ago I put him in a larger cage. I made sure that his temps were the same, if anything he has more of a gradient now. Today he started getting pissy with me showing his beard and opening his mouth at me. He is still eating and everything it's just a whole different attitude. Is this just because he is getting older or because of the new cage?

Sorry, hit enter instead of tab

a new cage can stress a beardie, it's all new to him so he can be unsure of things, less comfortable. They also will at some point want to test their ability to challange intruders and to be the tough kid on the block. They usually grow out of that in less than a month

Agreed with Bennett on this one. He couldn't have answered any better than he did
