Favorite perch?

[Jamiedog]

What's your beardie's (or beardies') favorite person-perch?

I'm wondering if Wave's is weird - she's taken to one particular spot, and it seems a strange one! When we go in for evening playtime, obviously she's pretty tired, and she doesn't run around too much anymore. I always have my hair pulled back into a ponytail (too long and annoying to wear down). She goes right to where the band is, puts her upper body and head on my hair, and lets her lower body/back legs remain on my neck/shoulder. Always on my right side. I guess she falls asleep there - it's hard to tell, because, of course, I can't easily see her! And I don't want to bother her by trying to take a picture or look in the mirror if she's comfortable and feels safe there; I usually just stay still and read my book. She certainly stays there until I force her to move. When she's bigger and less generally hyper, I wonder if that's where she'll prefer to sit for longer periods of time?

What about yours?

In regards to other pets, I used to have a rat who loved to ride inside my shirt. I've had lots of shoulder-riding rats, but this one wanted to go in, and there she would stay. I used to take her everywhere like that. One of my rat-appreciating friends took to asking me anytime he came over, "Is she in there?" Usually, she was. She was also the one who would grab a finger if you stuck it in her cage and lick it as long as you would allow her to, clutching it between her front paws. Miss you, sweet little Ginia...

Sarth is a shoulder percher, mostly. If I'm up and about in the house he'll ride there and adjust himself accordingly if I'm bending over or sideways or things like that. He even knows that if he goes on my back (usually because I'm bent over getting something out of the oven :roll: ) and I put my hand back there, he'll climb on it so I can set him back on my shoulder. Pretty much the only time he willingly climbs onto my hand.

When I'm sitting at the computer, he either likes to sit with his back legs on my shoulder and the rest of him peering over the edge of my chair, or drape himself across my chest, lol.

Good boy, then - if Wave gets on my back, she sees it as a good way to extend time out, as she knows it's difficult for me to get her! :lol:

corinthian's fave perch seems to be my boobs! if i'm sittin on the couch he'll climb up n lie straight across them like they were his very own custom built shelf! or if he's on my bf, he'll lie straight up his chest and stick his head under his chin.. my bf has a beard n if he stops rubbin it on corinthian's head he'll get a little head bump as tho to say 'why on earth did you stop?'

When I let my beardies out, I usually sit on the floor with them while I watch TV or something, when I first let them out they want nothing to do with me. After a while Jackie comes over burrows under my shirt and sleeps (I guess she likes my body heat), Fred will also come over eventually and sit on my stomach and stare at me... sometimes it's creepy
