Dragons love their slaves in a much different kind of way. I feel that when they look forward to you handling them (cuddle time), this is a sign that you have been accepted as a friend. If Leo isn't running from you, hissing or,
blackbearding you, you're cool!
I talk to my dragon and, she cocks her head at me as if to say, "really :shock: "!!! She holds on tight to my hand and, won't let go when I go to put her in her sleepy spot and, looks up at me and, falls back to sleep in my hand. I love my dragon, if she loves me back doesn't matter. I know she misses me when I'm not home!
They are quirky and, amazing little critters to say the least.
I also talk to my beardies and bluetongues , I did the same to my water skinks , and also to the resident wild skinks (mostly water skinks and delicate blown skinks).
My pet skinks (bluetongues and water skinks) and beardies have all become uberaffectionate and all love long mommy and daddy snuggles (my water skinks and Toothless are very much daddy's lizards, if my wife is giving one of them a snuggle and I sit down next to her or somewhere nearby on the modular lounge , they immediately crawl / climb of her and come to me and look up to ask (pick me up daddy I want to have a snuggle from you now).
Handfeeding is a fabulous way to form a great and very tight bond with a lizard.
I also handfeed my local resident wild skinks , don't take them very long to learn to trust you if you aways come outside with some mealworms or crickets to toss to them.... my tribe of resident water skinks are so tame around me that they now seek me out when I'm outside (gardening, tinkering in the shed, chilling in the sun or the shade on my front or back steps) and ask me for yummy worms (by staring at me and doing those cut tail wriggles and head nods , if I get out the worm tub and take the lid off I've been known to be mobbed by over a dozen skinks who are crawl oven / under , through my legs while I''m sitting on the grass or a garden path and literally trying to climb in the tub to get those delicious worms and taking them from my fingers (I make them take turns , they know the rules and are very patient so long as I stick to the system (a few worms for her, same for the other one, same for "me" , same for the next one .... they wont let me short change them (I'm sure they can count a shortchanged lizard gives me the stare, and will often nudge me .... "well ? where is it hooman ?")
Also, if he is not attacking you or being aggressive than Leo likes you.
