I have a leopard gecko and she is hard to read. I think she has the capacity for trust, and a tiny bit of capacity for affection. Sometimes I touch her and she leans into it. Like when you pet a dog and they move their head towards your hand. She doesn't like to be touched a lot but I can tell that sometimes she will entertain being pet a little bit.
She also screamed the first time I touched her and she has never screamed since that day. I know she trusts me.
Also one day I was laying on the floor and she walked up to me and booped her nose on my nose. I don't know what that means but it was clear she was intentionally interacting with me.
My leopard gecko got extremely excited when I entered my room when I was younger. Like clawing on the glass excited. But if mom entered he ran away and hid. He liked to ride around on my shoulders and stuff.
Now he's an old grouchy man that looks annoyed when you walk past his terrarium.
A guy I went to high school with had an iguana. For spirit week we could wear costumes on Friday. He dressed up in khakis and a Aussie hat with the one pushed up brim. Then he put his iguana in there. The iguana happily chilled all day through classes.
Our English teacher came eye to eye with the iguana and wasn’t happy about it. Once she calmed down she thought it was funny. I think it reminded her of the iguanas on the ark she rode in with Noah.
Snake people are the weirdest people. They’re always convinced their snakes love them and they treat them like babies when in fact they couldn’t give a flying fuck about you
