Why does my 3 month old want to bite?

[Beardeddragon]

i just recently got a bearded dragon and ever since the first week of owning it it tries to bite! im not mean to it and try not to handle her to much just to bath her and hold her once and a while. but every time i reach in to pick her up she puffs her beard and opens her mouth like she wants to bite me. she hasn't really yet but im confused is that normal for babies or does mine just hate me? i have had a baby before and he was always a sweet heart but i think thatz cuz he was in a pet store and saw lotz of people all the time. If n e one knows n e thing please inform me.
thankx

Some babies take a while to adjust....most that display "attitude" as babies and juvie's will grow out of that. Sometimes they will continue to do it throughout their life, but in our experience this doesn't happen often.

Try to handle the dragon once or twice a day to start.....but very short periods. Later when the dragon seems to be accepting this try for slightly longer periods. You may also want to try giving her some silkworms while you are handling her, if she accociates "playtime" with a great treat it may help!!

Don't get frustrated....patience is very important and I'm sure you will notice a difference before too long.

Good luck
