General rule I have for petting cats and dogs is if they don't try to escape or viciously fight back they're not bothered/are enjoying it.

Well he did willingly roll over for it, or at least that's what it looked like.

[Program Files]

I doupt he's enjoying it, he seemed to be trying to push the hand away, considering he cannot move quickly enough due to his weight, and he's just basically freaking out.

[evilweazel]

I feel like it would have been a bit more energetic if it was annoyed or hurt by it, like biting and wiggling kinda stuff. He was just kinda sitting there taking it.

If he was actually bothered by it, he'd have flipped over and booked it.

This is rape culture.

I need lizardism because people keep scratching my tummy and I have rights.

I'm not sure why it is, but in most threads about animals looking like they're having fun, there are always a few people who insist the animal actually hates it and is completely terrified and blah blah blah.
I mean sure, it happens occasionally, but animals are in fact capable of enjoying themselves too. :v:

Does anyone know what type of lizard that is?

[Insistent]

Many lizard would suffocate if they are upside down, my water dragon also does.

Lizards can move fucking fast.

I don't think he's enjoying it too much, I have the same species of lizard the Uromastyx and one of the things they do when threatened is to turn sideways to make themselves seem bigger.

Lizards will never reveal their belly though, that's unheard of in the wild. This is pretty much a clear-cut case of the lizard liking it's belly tickled.

I have a tegu and she [i]loves[/i] to be scratched on her belly, I can imagine the same is going for this Uromastyx.

They're a lot smarter than you give them credit for.

If it was in distress it'd probably show it a little more, thrashing around, hissing, etc.

All I see it doing is wiggling it's feet and generally being adorable
