Many people wonder if reptiles display emotions as other pets seem to do. While there is much debate on this topic, there are two emotions that most reptiles definitely appear to display: fear and aggression. Wild reptiles often react with fear or aggression when handled by people, but pet reptiles seem to remain calm when they are handled, especially by their owners. This fact leads many people, including some scientists, to believe that reptiles may have more complex emotions than was previously thought. One big question that reptile owners ask is whether or not their pets feel love or affection toward them. While many reptiles are solitary animals, some reptiles such as alligators care for their young, teach them important skills such as hunting, and communicate through vocalizations, suggesting that they do have some capacity to care for others and feel a need to interact with others. Snakes have shown signs of feeling curiosity and excitement when new materials, such as new bedding or housing, is added to their environment, which suggests more complex thoughts and emotions can be achieved by reptiles. Pet reptiles such as lizards will display signs of enjoyment when being pet by their owner, and animals such as tortoises have been known to follow their owners or handlers.

When you handle your reptile from an early age, it cements a bond between animal and owner that will last the pet’s lifetime. Your pet will become used to you, and may even seek out your attention, depending on the species. Many reptile owners have described their pets as having different, unique personalities and temperaments, and most reptile owners make bonds with their reptiles that are no less strong than the bonds people make with their cats or dogs.
