Do bearded dragons get jealous?

Dragon123 · Oct 20, 2016

my boyfriend and his family have 2 bearded dragons Khaleesi 2.5 yrs old and Mushu 2 yrs old. The first time yoko (8 months at the time) has been in contact with any other dragons is when she met them. So while i was cuddling with her khaleesi came and joined us yoko was on 1 side and khaleesi on the other. Khaleesi started moving towards my neck and yoko got up and layed across it so khaleesi couldnt move any closer. She also head butted and bit the beards of both the older dragons.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Do they? Apparently so, lol!!!

Gormagon hahaha i just found it odd as they are more solitary animals which are meant to show no feelings. So maybe it was more territorial?

Sounds territorial to me, possibly the beginning of a dominance battle. I'd keep her away from the others, doesn't sound like she wants to play nice.

Gail, i thought it was just cause shes used to having me to herself. It was just funny the seeing such a little one trying to battle these older bigger ones.

Reptile brains dont work that way. Jealousy takes a higher brain function than a reptile has. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying reptiles are stupid, but sometimes a reptile is just a reptile.
