"We have now got a tiny bearded dragon baby and wondering if anyone else on here has any reptiles. "
Nooooo my ethos is animals/reptiles etc should be in their natural environment not brought in2 artificial domestic situations
We have domesticated dogs/cats n horses - for me everything else should be free |

So why do you find it ok for dogs and cats to be domesticated but nothing else?

Because you can have a symbiotic responsive relationship with a cat or dog n they get an enrichment within a domestic situation that other species do not
Yes probably when we began to domesticate them my original post might have applied to them too
All the other species kept are purely for the purposes of the fascination they engender which of course is only a one way activity. The question to ask is 'what do these species gain from being owned ' answer nothing' |

I think they actually gain a lot from being owned such as a longer life span than if they were in the wild plus they don't have the threat of predators. Some reptiles can show a lot of affection towards there owners and can come to recognise there owners voice and there name. |

We shall have to agree to disagree on the subject bur personally I'd rather animals had the options of a possibly shorter lifespan in return for being able to respond within the environment where their natural evolution is and where survival of the fittest and most adaptable is paramount and where the call to breed,feed,nurture young etc follows a natural pattern
I realize I'm in the minority on the post n don't wish to offend owners - it's just my stance on the subject
Good luck n enjoy |

I've got a young corn snake called Zippy. He's a very sweet-natured little boy who loves being handled and tangling up in my hair. He knows when I'm in the room and comes out of his hide for a nosey about.
I've had him since he was an egg!! |

I agree with you,certain animals should be left in the wild.captivity to save an endangered spieces for release is fine.a couple of years free in the wild can never match 10 years in captivity.
Anyway I'm off topic sorry |
