well baby Daigh is insane, he goes right for my one adults enclosure, hes fixated with her, shes 18 inches, hes 7 and a half, hes always going for her glass, hes not allowed in that part of the room anymore as Gobi dives at the glass at him thinking hes a snack, doesnt phase him tho. Carrick loves the cat, he will crawl over and lay on her, shes too sleepy to notice. The adults are fine with the parrots but Daigh is leary of them, carrick does give the cockatoo looks tho when the 'too gets going, he can get really loud. i have found they pay much more attention to each other then they pay attention to any of the other animals in the house, i guess they understand each others language and the others are speaking in something they dont understand so there is no interest, none of them show fear of each other, they just dont seem to care that the other is there.







>>How do your beardies react to the presence of other reptiles? My male dragon completely ignored my Russian Tortoise. He'd casually glance at him and not care at all. He doesn't seem to show much interest in the leopard gecko either, when we hold it up to the glass. I haven't tried introducing them in the open, I don't want a dead gecko.

>>However, show him my baby black rat snake and he gets very pissed off. He puffs up, flattens himself, tilts to one side, turns his beard black, and opens his mouth. Very defensive behavior. I guess in Australia, bearded dragons have to deal with highly venemous snakes all the time. He's a lot bigger than my little snake but he's still scared of it. Just wait till she gets 6 feet long! Then he'll be pissing his pants, lol.

>>He also ignores my cats, but he'll make a mad dash for cover if he spots a soaring vulture or airplane. And sometimes ceiling fans spook him too. Survival instinct from Australia, I suppose.
