Kingofnobbys- Puff sounds like a real darling, as does Cooper - CooperDragon. I mean they are all darlings of course, but the latter two was what I was hoping for in a dragon.
<<< you'd love Rex (my 5 year old girl who took very ill very suddenly and unexpected and died very quickly about 3 weeks ago), she was a real smooger , loved mommy and daddy snuggles and often played musical humans moving from me to my wife for a snuggle and then back to me again. She was even more affectionate than Puff.
And my little girl Peppa lives for snuggles and doesn't want them to stop , grabs hold of your shirt or top and turns around to come back to you when you try to put her to bed, or to swap humans, she has been a real people beardie from the getgo when we brought her and Toothless home as 5 week old hatchling and loved snuggles from the very first day. If she had her way she would spend all day on daddy or on chilling on the chair next to me.
All my pet lizards (water skinks (two injured wild skinks I rescued) , bluetongue skinks (captive bred) and beardies (all captive bred)) have all become mega affectionate to the extent they follow us around and seek us out for snuggles.
Kush is just under six months old, and I've only had him for two of those, so there's plenty of time for him to start to really want to be my friend.
AHBD - he was sexed by a pretty reliable source, but as I say, at four months it may not have been be 100% reliable, and she has got it wrong at least once, but that was in the case of mistaking a boy for a girl, which I understand is much more easily done. Anyway, I'll post a pick of his bits ?

Looks like a boy to me.

Ours is pretty much a nice little couch potato (well, actually, you'd probably have to call him a basking platform potato if you wanted to be really accurate :roll: ), but I'm not really sure how much of that is due to his natural personality and how much is due to the fact that he tested positive for adenovirus a couple of years ago, and that may be making him a little more listless than he would otherwise be, although he seems to be holding his own for now.
Except for whenever his DNA decides that it wants to replicate itself. Then we do get the black bearding and head bobbing and glass dancing and general craziness, but only for a few hours for a few days usually in the spring, but he's pretty easy to get along with the rest of the time.

My first dragon was Simon, thought she was a boy, she turned out to be a girl, and she was a wild little baby. As she became an adult she was a lot more calm and very loving, lots of snuggles. She unfortunately passed away recently.
My second dragon is Richter, a boy, and he is like a rag doll. If he were any more chill I'd think he'd be dead. He's still super active and gets really worked up if he sees another dragon and has to defend his territory, but he loves snuggles, is always super gentle, and I give him kisses. Basically as long as he can't see another dragon, he's a little angel. He is only 8mo old, so he may become a ***** around puberty, but so far he's too sweet. May I add, during his "frenzy" state, he has never shown aggression at all, just puffed chin, slapping hand, and head bobs.
My new one is a little girl, Alucard, and just like Simon she has a lot of spunk. She's scrappy and curious and highly active. She tolerates being held but the initial pickup still freaks her out, but she doesn't try to run away once settled. She also likes to snuggle before bed and is generally very sweet. She's about 2 months old.
It's always based on personality, but so far Richter, my male, has been my little biscuit. When I got him he had some mobility issues (all cleared up), so that may have been part of why he's so relaxed.
I also agree from the bum photo, I'd say male
