The Veiled shouldn't be handled at all as far as I'm concerned. I don't really agree with Jeff in that Bearded Dragons are handled too much like dogs, but perhaps I don't see what he's seeing. If you look on the other fourms such as the bearded dragon or chameleon fourm you will find numerous stories that make it seem like the people are talking about their dogs. Even the animals like bearded dragons that almost like to be handled I don't think that they should be as much as some do. Most of the time I let him out for the sole purpose of excercise.
Some people go too far.
