I have had my bearded dragon since November. He is social and so sweet.
Being a class pet, he is in his tank most of the day and only comes out for an hour or so to hang out with my students. On the weekends he is at my home, and comes out of his tank for a few hours a day.
I was wondering, how would I know if he is bored at school (or at home)? How do I gauge if he is happy in his tank, and does not need anything more, or wants to come out more (which I cannot do at school)?
This is my first reptile, and I am used to dogs and cats (I know when they are happy, bored or upset), but I cannot tell with a lizard. I know he is not stressed or unhappy (those signs I know what to look for). I just want to make sure he is not bored and does not want more in his tank to do.
Thanks.
