QuestionI have read so many different blogs on human interaction with bearded dragons. Does my dragon just tolerate me and is void of all i.e. feeling or does he have a somewhat affection for me? he doesn't ever run from me, he lets me pet him, he comes to me and sits on me all the time. I take him everywhere with me, to work, out of town, to the stores; he rides in my car every day. He has never bitten me or been aggressive and is such a trooper I dress him up for every holiday, I have constant interaction with him, he is adorable I just love him, so, what's the real scoop on emotion? Am I just fooling myself?
AnswerHello Patrice,
Congratulations on developing a precious bond with your dragon. Most people can never truly understand the emotions & feelings you can gain with your bearded dragon.
They are very much an emotional creature when raised in captivity especially.
I am sure that he adores you too. Look at his eyes & you will be able to see his emotion. He does more than tolerate you, he wants to be around you.
It sounds like you two have a wonderful relationship, that is so sweet.
They do have emotions & feelings, but most don't sit still long enough to interact with them to see just how much emotion they do have. :-))
