Saw a real interesting video the other day. Bearded Dragons are much smarter than we thought.
You tube video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzuxAgAGqas

That's a good watch. Thanks for posting! I've read a paper recently (can't find it now) that described their learning via imitation as well. I think that for those of us who spend any length of time with these guys it's pretty clear they're smart cookies. I've found through my own observations that they respond really well to routine. They remember responses and consequences. I use it for bathroom training all of my guys.

That was awesome. I'm going to have to see if I can teach Scaley some tricks.
This is the first I have heard of reptiles learning through mimicry. I do know that they will headbob with owners, typically though it was confusion on species. Even have had them try to mate with my hand (gross). Typically reptiles have three things on their mind. How to find food, how to thermoregulate, and mating. I can't watch the video due to data limits. But I have read up more on it. I just wonder how often it takes place in the wild.
