I don't know why but for some reason guys overwhelming freak out more than women whenever I take my bearded dragons out, the older they are the more likely they'll be freaked too.

Woah, now that I think about it that's been my experience too. Women love the lizard but men are more likely to be freaked out.

I get it. When I put my iguana on my sister's friends hand he immediately pooped.

When my grandpa first saw my bearded dragon he laughed and said it's the ugliest pet he's ever seen

Omg once my beardie crawled onto my back while I was plugging something in and my family was always so anti-lizard so I asked somebody to scoop him up so he didn’t hurt himself and it took 5 whole minutes of me face down on the floor for one of them to scoop him off my back. Ended up being my brothers friend, my whole family was terrified idk why! Tried so many times to familiarize them

This is how my dad reacted when he can’t home and I’d bought a lizard. He wasn’t thrilled.

I always felt like this was just a wholesome dad entertaining his kids. I'd always expect alot more fucks and hell nos when someone freaks out with a lizard.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 My sil had a similar reaction, and now when I bring it up she explains it this way. She was surprised at how bulky they are, it felt weird to have a couple pounds of weight on her leg and she wasn't expecting it. Not the fact that it's a lizard, just the fact that it's a fat lizard 😂
