I posted this in the Tegu forum, but wanted to also share with you guys. I bought two tegu's this year and we were discussing how smart reptiles are. I hope you like it ( its a lil long)
Breaded Dragons IMO are very smart. I remember when i was 20 and stripe was 2. Well, Like most normal 20 year olds, girls are trouble. I was dating this girl for a year. Me and Stripe have always been real close, he use to fall asleep on me while i watched TV every night. Me and that girl broke up and she moved out of our first Apt, needless to say i was upset about it. Well, it was a normal night (2 days later) and me and stripe (the bearded dragon) were watching TV. He fell asleep so i put him on the top/back of the couch. I fell asleep on the couch and i woke up in the middle of the night to check that he didn't fall and i wasn't laying on him. Well, as most of you may know. When its dark inside and out a breaded dragon sleep like no tomorrow. When I woke up and put my hand up where i sat him down. He was in his bulldog stance on top of the couch Pitch black dark. i was surprised he was even awake so i looked up at him. He looked down and gave me this cocky look and put his head up high as if he was saying. " i got you, there is no reason to be upset". He stayed up all night protecting me! (a tear). The little bugger slept for 3 days after that, but you definatly will be surprised by how smart a reptile is. Sorry for the long story!
