You got to love bearded dragons just like a dog or a cat however there is a special way to hold your bearded dragon correctly so that you don't injure the bearded dragon. This is why they are a great choice for a pet in 2011 and beyond.
When you handle and hold a bearded dragon this may need some techniques and some skills. There is no proper training to hold a bearded dragon however you need to be aware so that you don't scare them and hurt them. Remember that these are living animals and that they do have a personality.
When you are holding the bearded dragon you need to keep in mind the hygiene and germs from your hands as well as the bearded dragon itself. You want to make sure that they don't get no illness or disease because it can transfer.
Here are some things that you need to know when handling your bearded dragon:
Bearded Dragons can get spooked easily so whenever you are handling them make sure that there your in a quiet area that has limited distractions. If you have a cat or a dog for example, make sure that they are not in the same room. You never know because that cat could eat it.
Bearded dragons don't like to be handled rough. They maybe feel as if they are in danger.
When you are about to pick up your bearded dragon try to pick them up from the side and not from the top like most animals.
Sometimes people like to put the beardie on the shoulder just like a tag along buddy :) Just remember to be careful and pay attention. There is nothing worse then having the dragon run off from the shoulder and then not being able to find it.
Try not to handle them for to long because they may feel stress. (Yes, animals feel stress)
Baby Dragon Owners Note:

In short, handling a bearded dragon is not as easy as people think. If you follow the guidelines that are listed above this should become very easy.
Take Care
