My bearded dragon's favorite past times include basking, falling off branches he's trying to climb (this includes when you walk in the room and startle them and they just sort of lose their balance...always sort of funny). Oh, I almost forgot, the beardie trademark, fighting with his reflection in the glass. I also have a mali uromastyx, and she has never done that. I don't think even my leopard gecko has done that.



He also is a very stubborn feeder. It used to be all he liked was crickets, but that wasn't good for him obviously, and he even started to develop the early stages of kidney failure (I caught it and gave him fluid therapy, he recovered fine). Now all he'll eat are repcal pellets, and only the RED ONES!!! Even when he eats the others by accident he just doesn't understand that they all taste exactly the same! I will say that he is sort of smart in the respect that he knows how to get what he wants. I took away his repcal pellets for the past few days to try to get him to eat his greens, and he has gotten so fed up with it by today (the fourth or fifth day) that he purposely threw his greens around the cage.



The bearded dragon....the idiot savants of the reptile world?
