My lizards show physical affection, is this normal?

Postby obsessed with Blueys » Wed Jan 22, 2025 7:15 pm

I have 4 blue tongue lizards (three male, one female)
and recently two of the 4 have been showing physical sign of affection!
for example, if i place my hand against the glass of their enclosure they will run up to it and rub their faces against the glass.
another example, when i open the lid it makes a squeaking sound. And when this happens three of the lizards will run to the open area and lift up their heads waiting for me to stroke them lol, it is very cute and i love to do it!
is this normal behaviour? i'm just wondering if anyone else's lizards do anything similar.
