Reptile & Amphibian Forums

My beardie (Buddah) is approx. 2 months old, and has been living with me for 12 days now. He seems quite content in his new environment, but I'm concerned with causing him too much stress by taking him from his cage and holding him. He tends to freak out when I try to pick him up, and the last thing I want to do is erase the progress he has made.

How often should I handle him? Any tips on how to build trust with a dragon?

Other questions:

Is Repti-Sand the same as Calci-Sand?

Buddha is mostly green right now; will his colors change as he becomes an adult?

Thanks for the help/info!

BS

ok im justgonna answer the sand question and say no they are not the same but u shouldnt use either of them, if u really want a natural enclosure used washed play sand or u could get washed "Carribean" sand, it's white and loox nice and im gonna use it
