Hi my Beardie is 2 YRS old and if I pick him up and put him on my lap he will just lay there and cuddle and it's almost like he has a smile on his face do they like attention and being held
Thanks

Some do, some don't, some just tolerate it. I believe that most like interaction of some sort and you'll hear stories of dragons running to their owners and climbing up into their laps. Whether its because the dragon likes the person or if they just feel safe with them will never be know.

Yeah, they are all individuals 
it's easy to misread them but for reptiles they tend to be pretty adaptable to handling. This is a good read for insight into general reptile body language (not all applies to dragons, of course). http://inpractice.bmj.com/content/35/3/123.full.pdf

OK thanks @taterbugTaterbug":14z1jchz said:Yeah, they are all individuals
The link has some interesting info on it that I never knew about thanks for that
i have two lizards, one uromastyx which i've been told by some experts on them to not handle him as often as you would a beardie. My beardie likes to ride on shoulders while we are sitting or he will crawl down our legs and sit by our feet for a while. He's active when he is out of the tank but inside he is a lazy turd. Sometimes so lazy i have to take away his basking log so he will eat.

Yeah sounds like spike he just sits on his rock all day unless he is going to do a bowel movement r if I put crickets r veggies in the tank. Then when he's out of his tank and sitting on my chest and we go outside he just looks around then , tries to go onto my shoulder.cbbrown":233lee7h said:
