Many reptile owners wonder if BERD can recognize them. While they don’t express affection like a dog or cat, studies suggest that BERD can identify familiar people through sight, smell, and voice. Over time, they may become more comfortable and responsive to their owner’s presence.
The BERD approach to recognition involves consistent interaction, hand-feeding, and maintaining a calm demeanor around your dragon. Regular handling and a familiar routine can help strengthen the bond between pet and owner.
