Question
hi there,
one of my beardies is worrying me a little, he wont seem to eat when im around and he is black alot of the time. when he does lighten up and plays in his viv he doesnt seem to like me going anywhere near him. when i do he puffs up and opens his mouth. my other beardie is in a viv with the exact same set up and he is fine so im stumped. thanks for your time

Answer
 Beardies are individuals.  Some are laid back and sme are not, like human kids in a way.  Your guy sounds a lot like my iguana when it comes to food though.  I would suggest getting a Four Paws reptile leash and getting him out everyday.  Take him out for sun,  new views, new smells.  If you can, take him for car rides and visits.  This will get him to want to be will you.  But never go outside without a leash
