This beaded lizard always looks angry😅 I definitely think he’s enjoying the scratches but he’s probably not the biggest fan of being held😂 I was just holding to help him get those last bits of old skin he had left😁 I even rewarded him with scratches at the end🥰

How does a blue-tongued skink say yes to visitors? 🦎 Meet Tilly, whose zookeepers use target training, a technique where jumping at a target earns him a tasty cockroach treat and guides him right into his carrier. This method, known in animal care as “choice and control”, means Tilly decides if he's up for visiting the museum floor, and if he skips the target, he simply stays home instead. A simple system to keep Tilly feeling safe and comfortable every time he chooses to say yes! #Lizard #Rept
