Some people say that when they close they eyes it’s a sign of leaving them alone is that correct as well?

Hi there Bearded dragons will close their eyes when they are happy/comfortable. So you may see your beardie closing its eyes while basking, or taking a bath. And if your dragon trusts you and/or is enjoying where you are petting it, they will close their eyes. No, they won't close their eyes if they want you to leave, they will probably open their mouth and hiss if they are mad and/or telling you to back off.
