Awww it's adorable- whatever it will turn out to be!!! So while there's some controversy around this, as long as you don't harm the beardie, than you should be okay- More than illness, it's usually the fear of safety-
Will you roll over and harm it during the middle of the night (unintentionally)?
Will you wake up and forget it's there-
If you are questioning yourself and illness is the first thought...I suggest erring on the side of caution, letting it get a little bigger and deciding later. Your journey has just started and if you do things correctly aka to the best of your ability, you will have plenty of time for snuggles- and not just at night! good luck!

Yea I’m not ready to sleep with it yet because I feel I might be a wild sleeper but I was concerned on the illness part because it’s so young thanks for your knowledge 🥹
As far as illness as long as you habitat is setup with the proper uvb and correct basking temp your dragon will be just fine. I think there are some things that we can pass back and forth with reptiles, but i also think you would know if you had any of them. As long as your not sick you won't make your dragon sick.

It is OK for your beardie but dont let the beardie get in your face. You could get sick because of bacteria and so forth from the beardie being spread to you.
Could get sick and will get sick are 2 different things. I've been keeping dragons for 8 years, zero times have they made me sick. This is how 3 out of 5 have wanted to sleep. You have to keep their habitat clean and keep them clean. Your as likely to catch something from your dogs or cats, and more likely to catch something from your kids.

So I am still not at the point where Rocky can sleep on me. We have cuddle time and today, I said I would wait closer until his bedtime and just see what happens...well @xp29 Rocky let me cuddle then when I pretended I was a sleep, he totally booked it for his enclosure. Ummm I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. Part of me think it could be trust but since I brought Rocky home, when I go to sleep, he would run to his hammock.* I feel so rejected! @Pat26_ Rocky is 6 months, (7 months in a few days), so he's a little bigger and does what he wants. So Rocky will probably be 2 years old when I get to say we had our moment, lol
In the meantime, I will enjoy the cuddles...earlier in the day!
Wait till he is already read to go to sleep and then lay him up on your chest or shoulder. Snicker Doodle would try to shag out at first also but in a couple weeks she started try to snuggle on her own.

I have had to pee really bad for the last 2 hours. However Nessie the baby is asleep on me, and I don’t want to wake him up, so bladder infection it is.

I just got to bed and Rocky is in my spot. He is too much. He was in the middle yesterday and today is the first time he made it to MY SPOT. I keep pulling the cover looking at him (he doesn't like it) but he is the cutest ever!
