Everyone knows that mammals (dogs, cats, pigs, horses etc...) and humans can develop strong bonds of affection. Some protect their owners and trust them as if they were the same species. Do you think reptiles develop bonds with their owners?? Or do they simply just associate you with food and just tolerate being handled? I have never heard of a reptile exhibiting a bond or sense of loyalty. Dont get me wrong, I think reptiles are some of the most cunning and smartest animals on the planet. I recently got a juvenile leopard gecko 4 weeks ago and a juvenile albino corn snake 3 days ago. My gecko is absolutely terrified of me and hates being touched. My corn snake on the other hand lets me cup her in my hands and hold her and hasn't bit me yet. I love my two reptiles so much and enjoy taking care of them and watching them feed (even though I havent fed my snake yet tomorrow will be her first feeding!) But anyway what im trying to say is... Do you think your pet reptile recognizes you more than anyone else?? or your just the hand that feeds them and simply tolerates you
