I was in the camp that reptiles never really "enjoyed' interaction with us humans but simply adapted to tolerate being handled and held. I don't know so much anymore. Having my snakes in my den that I spend a lot of time in I watch and observe them a lot and have come to think they are a heck of a lot more intelligent than most give them credit for. My grandson had a bearded dragon I truly believe loved to interact with people. He had a very distinct personality I was just amazed with. Walter my BP is starting to show a bit of that as well. He has always been pretty shy and timid, never hissed or struck but sometimes he'll come out of his hide while I'm watching tv or something and just sit in his cage and look at me like he wants me to get him out. I do and he seems to enjoy it.
