Well they do have the capacity to learn from each other. I read a study where they put a bug on one side of a sliding glass door that had a little door the beardie could slide open to get to the other side to eat the bug. They taught the beardie how to do it. They then put in new beardies who had no idea how to do it and just slammed against the glass trying to get the bug. They then put the beardie who knew how to do it in the cage with the others and the others watched him do it and they learned.
There are lots of new things scientists are learning about reptiles that they didnt know. I mean birds are decended from reptiles and they have the capacity to love and form bonds. Why couldnt a reptile. Now I'm not saying my snakes love me so dont get me wrong or think i'm a crackpot but the more scientists finally focus on reptiles and study them extensively, i think them and us will be surprised how much they can tell us.
And with all that said, you still see the Youtube videos of retics trying to coil and eat smart phones and garbage bags of old substrate which then sets up back a few years hahaha.
