Celebrating a Cuddly Lizard Community with #beardiesofinstagram

With a name like “bearded dragon,” it’s hard to conjure up images of a friendly and adorable pet. But one look at Pringle (@super_pringle), a lovable lizard owned by 24-year-old Melbourne student Sophie Hayes, should be enough to change anyone’s mind.

Pringle was a present from Sophie’s mother, and though she says the lizard can be a handful at times, he’s usually calm — and even cuddly.

“Most people who hold or touch him for the first time are usually surprised at how soft he is,” Sophie says. “I think many people don’t see lizards as animals you can cuddle up to, but I love watching TV with Pringle curled up on my lap or chest.”

Though you can’t expect bearded dragons to come when called like a dog, Sophie insists they are equally rewarding pets. “They do a lot of funny things,” she says. “Sometimes they can sit still and hardly move all day, while other days, they will be running around the house non-stop.”

Plus, they don’t mind being dressed up. Sophie is always on the lookout for props that will accentuate Pringle’s personality in her Instagram photos. “I recently went on a trip to the UK and bought him new props everywhere from the Tower of London to the Roman Baths,” she says. “I basically just let whichever props I find inspire the next photo I will take.”
