How to hold a bearded dragon
Wash your hands.
Washing your hands before you handle a bearded dragon will reduce the risk of passing any germs or illnesses on to the dragon. You may also consider wearing gloves; this has the added benefit of protecting your hands from the dragon's rough skin.

(1). Make sure you are wearing gloves that are close to your hands. Your hands should feel warm to your body and not too hot to put pressure on the dragon's scales and flesh. (2). You can also wipe your hands with a clean cloth dipped in soapy water after you have washed your hands. Make sure to dry them first, as you do not want the dragon's skin to be rough. (3). Gently lather your hands with soap and water for at least one second. Run your fingers through your beard stubble twice. (4). Approach the lizard slowly until you are able to touch it. It is important that your actions around the beardie are calm and deliberate.
