Does your dragon ‘cook’ their greens and berries?

[QUOTE="ChileanTaco, post: 2043365, member: 118921"] I can't give mine outside time on some grass (no grass here :D) but he also has bathroom-trained himself: Only poops at the front of the enclosure (and not only somewhere close to the front but in fact at one of two specific locations) where I can more easily remove the poo and also see the poo sooner. His good memory: Can also agree on this. I guess having this kind of good memory is essential for their survival in the wild where one has to know good basking spots, hides, where do insects show up and plants grow and, I have no proof but could think of it, also when (during the day, during the year). I agree: So many people think reptiles are dumb and emotionless (heard it often, e.g. people assume I got him as a "replacement" for a furry pet which might not have worked out, like, I might have preferred a cat but it wasn't possible - which is in fact not the case). Very smart and observant: That's it. And tons of emotions! I always wonder why people think there isn't much of smarts and emotions with reptiles - how would they survive in the desert without? I for sure wouldn't say a bearded dragon communicates less emotions than e.g. a cat does. And yes, this is also what I'm thinking often, but generally about pets and wild animals: What are their conceptions they have from us? E.g. for my bearded dragon: What does he think of me changing clothes and that it's not changing colors like he does? (He saw me putting on and off jackets for example.) What is he thinking about me doing things that resemble none of his habits - like, me reading a book or me doing some crafts? How does he perceive me giving him food? Some animals/pets who are raised by their parents might see us as "parents" or "hunting partners", but as a bearded dragon, he never had parents caring for him and feeding him, so that a being bigger than him giving him food must be a rather artificial concept*. Also how other pets and animals perceive us? What are their misconceptions about us? I also see their adaption to living with a human and thus overcoming many instincts (including that: learning to take food from a human, where no being in the wild would share with them, learning that being picked up is a good thing, where in the wild there would never be anything good in this (other with an animal who is raised by their parents who might pick them up)) as how their smarts show. *For fun, I call myself w.r.t. him his "wormgiver" :D [/QUOTE]
