Maybe it depends on the lizard, if you raised it, or some other factor but I don't feel that's quite accurate. I dated a girl who had lizards all her life and to hear her tell it, her bearded dragons grew quite fond of her. One had surgery to remove a tumor and when she saw him after surgery he flat out fought the vet to come running to her, despite being bandaged and still semi-sedated. I know when I came home from work, one of the dragons we had would clamber off his perch and claw at the glass, presumably for attention. I'm sure most of the time they would snuggle for the body heat, but those bearded dragons showed some awareness that I'm more than a log.
- Kiro 10y agoYour story makes me want to get a bearded dragon again. :) The one I had was really really old (we were his retirement home) so could have been that.
- 67726e 10y agoI had a pair of hatchlings with my ex. I didn't quite get to see them to full maturity, but just about. They're almost like the puppies of the lizard world, especially if you get them young. The first one we had, his mate died about a year on. He went from being a fairly social critter to burrowing under his pool most of the time until we got him a new mate. I try not to anthropomorphize but I swear he cheered up and became his old self because of his new friend. I know anecdote != data but damn if I'm not gonna believe those things had something more to them than "hey, you're just a stick" If you want a cool pet that's less effort than a dog, bearded dragons are a great option. Just make sure to be careful handling them when they're small. Sneaky little things.
