I've just taught Pancake to Listen to me... First off, I taught her to respond to her name, then I got to the big stuff. HOW TO LISTEN!!!! Sounds crazy, right? I'll update every now and then so you can see silly beardies doing stuff!
Cute pictures of Pancake! She looks like a real sweetie. How did you teach her to listen - calling her name, then presenting a treat? I'm curious about your methods!

Thanks! That is basically how I taught her. I also tap the object/human I want her to listen to and I keep retapping the object when she gets distracted!
I find both these stories fascinating... probably because I'm used to the conventional wisdom that reptiles aren't anywhere near as smart as mammals, and can't be taught much of anything. I wonder if anyone has ever tried clicker training with small reptiles? I wonder how much a dragon could learn? I'd try it myself, if I had the time!
I woke up this morning and I found Pancake hanging off her heat lamp... View media item 16688"You like my new Dress?" Pancake asked me.View media item 16727After dinner.
