Bearded dragon depressed?

[Sherlockthebeardeddragon]

So I've been away for a few days and my dad has been taking care of Sherlock, this morning I got a text that says "Hi, sherlock seems depressed, I cuddled with him last night" (enjoy the image of a grown man snuggling a lizard) I've been taking care of Sherlock the same way sense Febuary and I'm positive my dad is doing a great job. Why would he be depressed?

Maybe your dad is the one that is depressed because you're gone and he's blaming it on the dragon

There's debate as to whether they have human emotions like love or depression. That maybe we are projecting those emotions on to them because that's what we think they are feeling. I like to think they might feel something. I went away for a few days and when I came home Dexter perked her head right up and watched me from her tank until I could put my things down and scoop her up, she seemed so happy to see me.
