Bearded Dragon Belly Rub

Question
My bearded dragon seems to love it when I flip him over on his back and rub his belly. However, when my boyfriend tries to do the same, my bearded dragon hates it and flips right side up. Is there something wrong with him? Should I be worried?

Answer
Hi Katie,
There is nothing wrong with your beardie at all.  He is either showing that he trusts you more to allow you to do that or he is more submissive to you. With your boyfriend, he(your Beardie) isn't as secure or he doesn't want to submit to your boyfriend.
