Frightened Beardie

[Sonic Reality]

Well my beardie was misstreated by a past owner before i got him and got him close to death.He had such problems as being to think,jumpy and bony.His head was wider than his body and his ribs would show,Even though i saved him(tho everyone thought hew wold die) and he is perfectly healthy right now.

But readin some of your posts your beardies are friendly.He isnt.He wont come out alot of the time even thought the temparature is warm(have the fire on just before we take him out) he wont stay out long and wont let us touch him often.My dad can handle him buty he wont let me.He bit me at one stage and ouffed his beard out

I know its most likely because of his abused state before hand but he should have forgotten about that by now in scientific ways(memory span) and i was just wondering how would i get him to act nice and friendly instread of cold bitter and angry.

PS its not all because he is going into maturity(2-3 years) hes ben doing it since we got him.

Any ideas how i could gain his trust?We maybe getting a female at some point but im not sure how hed react...
