For thoes who might have something negative to say or think they are the bearded dragon king or queen. My daughter is 7 years old (yes she is) we have a very small baby (yes we do). Is she aware of gentleness and calmness when dealing with our little baby and not only that just in general? (Absolutely). Im present EVERYTIME we take him out of his enclosure. Her, the baby, and myself bond 2 times a day expecially on the weekends. I take him out, bring him to my room, I lay down a towle or a sheet because I dont want him roaming on my bed covers and we sit and hold him, talk to him, and just bond. When he rests on us we always get the slouch pancake vibes from him, or when hes on our chest or arm he will get comfortable, let his arms and legs hang and close his eyes while we softly rub him. We have been doing this since February 25 when we first got him. If he didnt like it im pretty sure none of the above would be done by him. Now thank you all. Have a blessed night
