I'm sorry that you don't feel that your reptile has an emotional attachment to you, that's unfortunate that you feel that way or that you haven't developed a bond with him or him to you. They are really very smart creatures and a few people don't really seem to notice all the signs & symptoms proving that they are very "in tune" to us & show this in many ways. You are really missing out on a lot of the beardies characteristics and emotional attachments to humans. All of ours relate to us in many different ways daily and do indeed know and respond to all 3 of the members we have living in this household. I think you would be quite amazed if you saw how they interact with us daily.bmb527":905c2 said:Many folks have their beardies cages in the living room, or somewhere that the animal does not have it's own room where lights don't come on after a certain time. I would bet that covers 90% of the owners here. They will sleep when they need it. I have witnessed my own sleeping in the day, or at night while I am watching TV, as long as it is tired, it will sleep. Animals are not like us, no matter how much we wish they were. Reptiles and fish have no emotional attachment to us whatsoever. They just don't. We project these behaviors and feelings on them. It has been proven scientifically that our little ones do not have the capabilities that some folks think their lizard, snake, fish etc. has. Sleep is something that all animals in the animal kingdom, except for us humans, get when they feel they need. I do think it is great that folks try to keep pristine conditions for the animals they decide to keep, but, a reality check should be done every now and then.
