>>And no, I do not believe they have the SAME deep emotion as humans, but I do believe they learn trust and can become bonded.

>>I purchased a female egyptian uro Cleo, 4 years ago(some of you have seen Cleo) from a friend who was working with her but had limited time.
>> She was severely burned, 3d degree burns on back and sides. Open bloody fleshy wounds that took almost another year to get closed.
>>
>>Daily, soakings in provodine, and I can't even count the amount of tubes of neosporin used during that time.
>>This girl was held in a towel most of the time just to keep her calm.
>>
>>Basking light had to be so low as not to hurt her open wounds that she was dark brown in color, and barely warm.

>>Anyway, Cleo and I bonded so strongly, that just calling her name she will run out of her slate rock burrow and come to the side and jump up to come out.
>>
>>When out and running on floor thats set up with rocks and appropriate for lizard exercise, LOL, she will come to me when I sit down and sit with me.
>>
>>This lizard is so trusting of me, and I of her, and it is not just for food, or in my mind, It is a rememberance and trust and bond created, when she was suffering.
>>
>>Anyway just my thoughts, they can become a trusting friend !
