I am here again with more questions haha! I've gotten to know my dragon quite well at this point, but he's still not full grown. His new enclosure is very large and means the cats are able to see in, and they get curious, but they really don't have any desire to hurt him even when I take him out around them (they really just want the crickets to play with). I've taken him out around them tons of times, and they've looked in for weeks, but it seems like no matter what he has not even started to be less afraid of them. They've never tried to hurt him at all, and when he's out I'm supervising anyways.
He's usually relaxed when I take him out of his enclosure (aside from running about and exploring), but since moving to the big new enclosure he seems constantly petrified the cats are around even if I've shut them out of the room. Obviously I use safety precautions and don't "torture" him with their presence, but is there any chance he'll eventually overcome this fear so I don't have to lock everyone in separate rooms to hangout? He's decent sized, but still less than a year old. Is it normal for young dragons to be more anxious of things, or could this just be his personality? He's the only dragon I've ever had so I'm still learning what to expect. I love him, but I was really hoping for a chill shoulder rider when I got a dragon. I think taking him anywhere he's not used to gets him worried (never aggressive or terrified, but darkened beard and running about a lot more).
I can never explain these things in short paragraphs haha, thanks for reading guys!
