Its hard to really pin-point Stanley's behavior, because I've noticed that he is kind of crabby when he's shedding, and he's been shedding A LOT since I got him.
He will tolerate some petting on his back, but HATES to be pet on his head. He seems to like having under his beard petted. He DOES let me kiss him, LOL :love5:
He loves to snuggle, especially at night before bed. I stuff him under my shirt
and he does a little wiggle/nesting thing to get comfy for about 5 min, then he falls asleep. Sometimes he'll pop out of the collar of my shirt and splat his face into my neck and fall asleep there.
If he doesn't get snuggles before bed, he'll lay awake in his cage (with the lights off!) until someone DOES.
He's scared to death of the outside, and can't even really handle being in the window. I'm hoping I can work with him on that, because the climate out here in Phx is perfect to have him outside! As of right now, he is PETRIFIED of being outside - he will beard up and and freak out. No bueno.
He kind of just tolerates his baths - he'll flip out for a minute and dog-paddle at the side, then he realizes that he's getting nowhere so then he just floats there. He has little floatie toys that I put in there, and he seems to like to lean on them and float around. I used to have a dragon that LOVED bathtime, and would dive and swim underwater like a crocodile, and do laps around the tub.
OH! And he is a "private pooper". NOT ONCE since I've had him have I witnessed him poop. I mean, he does every day, but he WILL NOT poop when people are around. He's very modest. LMAO!!! :laughhard:
All in all, I think he's a great guy. LOTS of personality, and is VERY attached to me, which I love. My husband says that if I am talking in another room, Stan will look up and all around for me. When I'm in the room, he's clocking my every move. :mrgreen:
Poor little traffic cone...
