My daughter insitsed on holding my beardie this morning and as she was holding her my beardie lucky decided she wanted a piggy back ride!!!!

That's a very cute little girl and a very cute beardy!

I have a 4-year-old stepsister who's madly hyperactive and would probably rip the poor chap in half though

im not sure someone that age could hold a snake just because the snake could leg it!

my niece (4) and nephew (6) regularly hold my beardie and there very good with him

I introduced my toddler to my beardie when she wasn't long past 2 years, she's nearly 2 1/2 now and I'm expecting her on thurs, she's ever so gentle with animals so I trust her with Danbert, not unsupervised though, she'd probably eat him. So I'll hopefully have a pic to add to yours by the weekend! You have a very cute little girl So does the other poster who put a pic up

lol I must admit I would only trust her with my beardies, when i took my leo out she screamed "baby" and tried to grab her tail.....I nearly had a heart attack and now she just "looks" at them

Thanks for all ya kind words, she means the world to me.....and my beardies lol

here's another, my 4 year old with Rocky

my youngest is 4 but they all handle all my reps, including the tame Tokays but they have been around reps all their life so they know how to handle em through watching me and the Mrs.
She looks pretty cool with it though bredrun, i think it's awesome to see kids with reps, the earlier they learn, the more responsible they become and don't just buy for the novelty factor when they get older.

Awwww how cute!
My son is 2.
He HATES dogs and other animals but is completely besoted with reptiles!!

when I am doing BD chores (ie cleaning,feeding) he is at my feet saying "see,see" he loves our BD.
he will happily stroke her and is very careful near her, but she is quite timid and does not take to him too well so she can only come out when hes in bed

He would love to hold her!!
Hes so small and my BD is so big!!!
