My bearded dragon, Gomek, is now around 16'' and he has had this problem where he won't let me pick him up. He is not aggressive in any way, he just tries to escape from my hand. He starts this little ''squirming'' episode. He mostly does it when I take him out of his tank to eat his crickets. Then, when I go to put him back in the tank, he tries to jump out of my hand into the tank. I'm worried he will get hurt doing this, because I don't like him landing hard onto his rock when he jumps out of my hand.

Any advice?
