Not that important I think, depends on your dragons reaction to it . . . Lots of them kind of "attack" the reflection, or they get stressed by it, black bearding and all that . . . . .

But P doesnt mind, had her in front of the mirror, didnt phase her at all

A lot of folks block reflections so the dragon doesn't get freaked out by their reflection and become stressed. If your dragon doesn't seem bothered by it, then I would say that you have nothing to worry about.

Our viv was in between the kitchen and family room. So, we didn't put anything up. When in the kitchen, Bernie watched us. When in the family room, Bernie watched us or the TV. So, he always felt part of the gang. He was never bothered by it, so we never worried about it. There wasn't too much of a glare either.

When I first got him, Thor continued to go after his reflection, so I taped up some paper along the inner side of three of his four walls for about a week and a half.

I pulled it down and he doesn't seem to attack himself anymore, except when he sees a cricket's reflection and goes after it, then sees the "other" beardie blocking his way.
