Do they like being pet?

[Fraido]

I'm just wondering if some lizards, like bearded dragons and leopard geckos, enjoy being pet?
I work with some baby beardies at my co-op placement and some of the babies appear to enjoy being rubbed, I'm just not sure if they are actually enjoying it or if closing their eyes and sitting still is just some kind of instinctive reaction.

Lizards closing their eyes is a sign of stress not enjoyment. I don't believe any reptile truly enjoys being pet, some tolerate it better than others.
