His name is Brutus. He was super tiny when we got him. The breeder said he was a dwarf but Im not sure there are dwarf cresties.

I took a very silly photo of my ball python, but it had my face in it so I’ll just describe it. I was sitting watching a movie with my BP and he crawled up on my head. He put his tail right on my nose, wrapped around my glasses and then perched in a striking position on top of my head. It was very cute

This isn’t technically a reptile picture, but it’s reptile-adjacent.
So, I gave my chinchilla some slices of aspen wood to chew on, and a few hours later, this is what she’d done to it:
(Please excuse the poop.) You think she could get a job at ZooMed making ReptiChip?

Thats funny right there.
We had a pair of females for a little while that we used in our classes. They were not fond of me and I wasnt fond of them either. One day we had a class, and I opened the cage to get them out. They were sitting side by side. I said, “lets go.” They looked at each other, then at me, then abck at each other.
Then promptly stood on their hind legs and peed on me.
They were gone the next day.

Yeah, chins will do that. Especially the females. I’ve taken a few pee sprays, and my girl typically aims right for the eyes with astounding accuracy.
She hasn’t peed on me in ages, though she’ll still do it readily to anyone else who tries to touch her. Chins are funny creatures. They don’t give their trust or affection freely, you really have to put time and effort into proving to them that you’re worth trusting. It’s not unusual for it to take weeks, months, or even years to build a bond with one. And most of them (including mine) don’t like being grabbed or man-handled. Interaction pretty much always has to be on their terms. In many ways, it’s more like working with a wild or feral animal.
I adore my chin, but they’re definitely not for everyone. I’d even go so far as to say that they’re not good pets for most people. They take a lot of time and patience, and their care is pretty high-maintenance. Plus my chin is the most expensive pet I own if we’re talking about monthly expenses. I don’t even want to think about how much money I blow through every month just on her chew toys. But she’s adorable, and now she’s very friendly and affectionate towards me, often even jumping right into my arms or onto my should when I open her cage. Just so long as I don’t try to grab her, we’re good!

Even my previous roommate, who was a vet tech at a clinic that treated exotics and a wildlife rehab, struggled to establish a cordial relationship with Margaret the chin. So yeah, definitely not just you.
