my dragons are scared of my parrot, really scared, but thats just the above predator instinct, and Ralph is REALLY curious of my leopard gecko, i have the cage on the ground, its glass, and Ralph jumps outta his cage and runs over the leopard gecko cage, and just starts tryin to get in, maybe trying to eat him. He bobbs at my veiled chameleon when he sees him (which is rarely) he totally ignores my box turtles.
The thing with the snakes, its a natural instinct. In australia, there are common browns (venomous), and plenty other venomous and nonvenomous species of snake that prey on small to medium lizards and birds and small mammals, and bearded dragons sometimes are their prey when they come in contact with each other. A while ago, i saw a show special on discovery that showed a nonvenomous snake trying to eat a bearded dragon, but the dragon, which was a subadult, gave a fiesty fight, biting it and flaring the beard, and when the head was in the mouth the dragon shook its head violently around, beating its spikes in the inside of the neck, and the snake released and went away. The beardie only had a small cut on its back, and it ran away. I was like, GOO BEARDIE lol....well im rambling, later
