Yes some beardies are definitely naturally calmer than others and some times they just adjust to their people people better, but my thing is that young beardies or those who haven’t been worked with any still have the ability to jump off a shoulder and run like a bolt of lightning. A blue tongue skink simply is not built to do that which makes them a better candidate for small children who are not used to handling reptiles. The other thing is that as people we are all different as well and what is one person’s best beginner species may not be another’s. I just say give blue tongues a look if you haven’t already because in my experience they are a little easier.
