LOL! When I let Taz out, I have to tail him very closely or he will be gone! So I follow him around and steer him away from the "underneath" places with my foot, and he turns around and licks my foot when I do.  I just don't take him out if I can't watch him like a hawk, but I can let my beardies cruise around with moderate supervision.
They are very interactive, but as Torey said, they are less tolerant of handling. Taz eats out of my hand and loves to be stroked around his head and under his chin, but bolts if I try to stroke him down his back and squirms after I have handled him for a few minutes.
A friend saw a pic of my little one, Ngozi, and said they must be very slow and lethargic based on their appearance. LOL! Nothing could be farther from the truth! If I put that little belly dancing, tail whipping, ornery little beastie on the floor, I wouldn't see him again until he either decided to allow my presence enough to come out and find food or I followed the smell trail to a corpse! 
luvmybd, do I know you from another forum? bd.org, perhaps?
