JoJo gets awfully fussy with me as well when she is outside. I guess some sort of instinct kicks in and they see us as predators? That would be the only thing that I can think of anyway.
Picasso gets like that any time I take him outside, he acts like he is scared to death, I hope he can get over that because I want to be able to enjoy him outdoors this spring and summer.
Only time any of my dragons have ever offered to bite me was when I took them outside. Some act like angels but i have two boys that, I think the natural sun rays convert them to the hulk.
Uhm I have absolutely no idea if he saw anything like a bird or some other creature. He's fine whenever I take him out in his mesh cage sometimes he'll do a few laps around and then soak up the sun. He really surprised me when he started hissing and blowing up getting really mean. I really hope this behavior fades out because I'd really like to enjoy some quality time with him outside during spring and summer. Maybe he only acts like that because of instincts? The feeling of danger and what not. Hopefully he learns to adapt that I'm not a danger to him.
