he likes his tummy rubbed

[sk8ergrl927]

LOL My F likes her head rubbed. :main_laugh:

 

[sk8ergrl927]

it was really weird. He was being too michevious so i made a cave in my blankets for him. i started rubbing his belly, and he didnt arch his back or anything. he pressed up against me so he could show more tummy. then he got the sleepy eyes. omgosh so cute.

awwwwwww...cute

Cute. I definitely think leos prefer their sides and tummies rubbed rather than their backs. Mandarin will press her chin against my finger when I'm holding her so I can rub it.

And to think, most people portray reptiles as unloving animals instead of cuddly pets.

Mine also loves anything warm on his stomach. He goes into "basking" mode.

Aw thats so cute. I hope my future one does the same.

I'm betting this is because leos absorb belly heat normally rather than having heat beamed down on them.

Dante seems to love being pet where ever when he's in the right mood for it. He'll rub up against my hand and doesn't shy away from his head or back from being rubbed either. He does love his belly rubs the most though, but he lets me know when he's had enough and just walks off

Like I said, anything warm gets that reaction from mine. Not saying it isn't cute, but he definitely looks more "bask-y" than "tummy rubb-y".
