Are Reptiles Intelligent? Reptiles: Smart Vs. Dumb

Reptiles are frequently quoted as being slow, dim-witted, and mechanistic in their habits, but is this really true?
In today's video, I take a look at reptile intelligence. I discuss how anthropomorphism frequently blinds our view of how smart other animals actually are: usually people feel that more human-like animals, like the bearded dragon, are more intelligent than others, such as the leopard gecko. However, without means of objectively testing this, we cannot say if this is actually the case. (Most intelligence tests are geared towards visual-based cues, which of course are useless for a scent-driven snake, as an example.)
I go on to discuss anecdotal evidence of smartness hidden in my own reptile room. Certainly, all of my reptiles are trained to recognise when food is coming, including my corn snake, Red (albeit in quite an unusual way). The question " do reptiles like being pet" forms a key component of my argument - new experiences with handling my leopard geckos is mainly what fuelled the production of this video!

Thank you - you’re very welcome!

[@themanwiththecrystaleyes464]

A lot of leopard gecko keepers train their geckos to recognize their owners by calling their geckos name. My gecko is able to recognize that tapping the tongs against the glass means feeding time and my palm in his tank means he’s about to be taken out. He’s also able to recognize the people either by scent or vision. He’s much more comfortable being handled by me then he is by my mum or my friends. He was a rescue and he would normally get spooked and hide from strangers. Over time he got used to me and now he’s able to approach my mum without beating afraid of her, he’s still scared when he sees someone new. You can go into any gecko community online and see similar traits and behaviors I mentioned. If the animal was truly stupid and only acted on instinct it would stand in one place all the time and wait for food to come near it.

[@jestes7]

Is classical conditioning really a sign of being intelligent? Not sure I can agree with that.

[@themanwiththecrystaleyes464]

jestes7 Yes, reptiles aren’t the most intelligent animals on the planet but being able to remember situations, items and even people and being capable of very basic problem solving is a sign of intelligence. Obviously a lizard isn’t as smart as a dog but it’s smart enough to not be considered unintelligent.

[@LoriTorrini]

Thank you! This is refreshing to see. I have been trying to show people for going on 3 years now that reptiles are not stupid. I work with snakes and they amaze me daily with their cognitive abilities and capacity to learn. I have several snake training and behavior videos on my channel and published a snake training article in the spring 2019 edition of the International Association of Animal Behaviorists journal. I think snakes' lack of ability to convey facial expressions, lack of eyelids/blinking ability, and limited body language due to their armor of scales contributes to why people believe they don't think and feel. Keep up your great work and thank you again for this video!

[@JTBReptiles]

Lori Torrini Precisely! The less an animal resembles a human being in its habits, the less intelligent we perceive it to be, and there is very little that anybody has done to provide objective evidence to support or refute these claims. Definitely something to research. Thanks!

[@denised3185]

Totally agree with them being intelligence!!. I have a very cheeky Leopard Gecko. He will come out if Im doing anything around his enclosure. Most times when I open his door he will walk onto my hand, have a chin rub and pats then walk back off. One of my other leos will want out about 6pm, Open her door and she walks onto my hand then up onto my shoulders or snuggle into my hair. She will stay for a little while then walk back down my arm and go back towards her enclosure or she will walk back to my hand and lay down. They all come out when I click my finger nails together... my boy runs out of his hide.

[@JTBReptiles]

[@brittanylong4669]

As dumb as I think my American toads can be, they know EXACTLY when it’s feeding time an rush to the food bowl when they hear the tongs come out of the tin and the lid move. They also know when they’ve just had new water put in, because they rush to it to soak. One of mine is less social and likes to stay burrowed, but as soon as I wake up in the morning and start making noise, I have watched one come up out of the dirt and track me with her head, and she’ll do that most of the day. Go Herping made a video about which animals will willingly walk off a table top, and certain lizards and even his toads thought through the process and stayed on the ledge.

Thanks! Reptiles really are thought of as second-class animals by the majority of people, and I can only think that it’s because of their general dissimilarity to humans - a perception that will hopefully change in the future.

[@jewelledlacertacare2712]

I've been breeding jewelled lacertas, which seem pretty intelligent. The babies that live in groups certainly learn from each other, and if one individual starts wanting to be handled, others start to copy. I had several weeks without a baby who likes handling (the most handleable usually get chosen by buyers), and no one in either groups wanted to try it. Eventually one of them did, and has decided to live in a different group each day, and now more babies from both groups have decided to try handling again. There was nothing for weeks, and now 3 new babies giving it a try over the course of a few days. Sounds very similar to with your leopard geckos, although they also try to get out from the same area without me there. The adults seem to understand that although i provide the food, i get it from somewhere else in the room, and they've made it their life mission to find this place to get it for themselves. So they certainly copy each other, but it seems they could even be trying to copy and learn from me. Also, from watching their social interactions a lot, it seems like if the more shy individual follows the confident one to leave the tank, they tend to be getting along and the shy one is being extra confident because of the other being there. If the shy one is wanting to come out by them self, when they usually avoid handling by themselves, then it tends to be that they want to get away from the other one. When this happens the confident one might follow very closely where ever the shy one goes, chasing occasionally and trying to keep the shy one from accessing food. In the wild, i imagine this would effectively chase the shy one off the territory, but obviously this cant happen in an enclosure., which is why its important to keep an eye out for these little changes in behaviour. This is stuff i've witnessed with the lacertas, so i can't say whether it applies to leopard geckos, but i thought i would share in case it was of any interest, or maybe you might see something similar happen in leos in the future.

[@JTBReptiles]

Thank you for your insights! I am a big lacerta fan (keep your eyes peeled for the near future 😉), so it is interesting to learn more of their behaviour. There is obviously much more going on in the minds of these animals than is traditionally thought!

[@DaveDurham]

Well Dave Durham here of Dave Durham Lizards. I have taught lizards to do amazing things, like doing an obstacle course. I have proven that they are way smarter then anyone has ever thought.

[@bnutz3k]

They most definitely display trust or at least tolerance and familiarity. They also very much show fear. It's kinda weird to say they don't have any feelings, imho. Good vid!

[@flint857]

My mind was already open to this. So i whole heartedly agree. One thing ive taken to is arranging my beardies enclosure to give him oppertunities to learn new skills like climbing vertically. This actually became a problem because in his older enclosure he used that to escape. Several times... even when i secured the enclosure. So yeah. Reptiles can be smart.

[@JTBReptiles]

Aye, in the wild they would be clambering up and through all manner of different things, so it is essential that we give them the chance to exhibit these behaviours in captivity. Hopefully he doesn’t get out again, though!

[@vomrabenauge]

Classical conditioning is an amazing thing, tbh. I think the main question we need to be investigating is WHAT can reptiles experience? We know that dogs experience contempt, happiness, love etc, but we also know that they don't understand the concept of spite, despite what everyone likes to assume. There is an argument that because reptiles lack the part of the brain that allows for empathy, they cannot feel love and therefore cannot create an emotional bond with humans, ie their caretakers are only a means to an end for them. That may be the case, but I think we need further study to really crack what emotional capacity the reptilian brain is capable of. (I'm a dog trainer and my understanding of animal psychology is fairly decent, I'd think, out of necessity, so forgive me if I nerded out a bit.)

[@JTBReptiles]

I am sure that anatomical comparisons should yield some very interesting results! We must be careful, though, not to make assumptions in doing this: with ~300 million years or so of evolution separating reptiles and mammals, there is no reason to suggest that a “higher” brain structure in mammals could not be mirrored by a different structure with the same function in a snake, say. But indeed, social behaviour in reptiles IS much more limited, on the whole, than in mammals inasmuch as there are fewer social species - so it’s unlikely that they can experience empathy, as you suggest. Still, a subject matter with lots of questions and very few answers!

[@vomrabenauge]

@@JTBReptiles Oh, absolutely. We know how parts of the brain work in mammals, but that isn't to say those parts work exactly the same in other species such as reptiles or birds. Empathy may be beyond their grasp, but perhaps the experience other things that we don't even have words for. It's an extremely interesting subject and as a bit of a psych nerd, one that I am absolutely willing to see explored more seriously. We've seen Komodo dragons do what LOOKS like play with inanimate objects before which previously would have suggested an unthinkable amount of intelligence to the scientific community, so there's really an untapped fountain there that should be looked at.

[@JTBReptiles]

It’ll be interesting watching our knowledge develop over the years!

[@brittanylong4669]

Samantha my question to this thread is: why HASN’T anyone delved into this realm of research? Why do we know so little about most reptile’s brain functions and capabilities when we know so much about mammals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, whales, and even MICE?? I really just need to know if my toads like me, tolerate me, or absolutely hate being around me and think I’m a menace. 😂 (before anyone comes for me, I know I’m late to the party, and I know toads are amphibians.)

[@JTBReptiles]

Because historically people haven’t liked reptiles or amphibians. They’ve been associated with devils and demons; considered “foul and loathsome” by even Linnaeus. It is only now that people are overcoming their social prejudices that we can begin to wonder about these curious organisms.

[@danieltaylor4185]

Leopard geckos can be quite fascinating and interesting to consider their behavior. My gecko started "asking" to be let out during breeding season. She would go to a particular spot, and scratch at the glass when she saw me. But then, later, she would still do this behavior, just more occasionally. She still does it to this day. Sometimes, I pick her up from other areas, that she still hangs around in, and I realized something. I was worried that she might not like me doing this, but then I realized something else that was interesting. She used to really like her humid hide, but stopped using it after some point and I didn't understand why. And then I remembered, before I took her to get a check-up at the vet one day, I had to pick up the humid hide with her in it, and pick her up out of the removable top. And because of that, I think she has pretty consistently avoided it, outside of sometimes when she's shedding. So, the above led me to conclude, that she doesn't find handling to be unpleasant, otherwise, she'd stop going to these places. But I think she stopped using that humid hide, because she remembered hiding there before going to the vet, and from what I was told about what the vet needed to do, I think it was rather unpleasant for her. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's impressive if, a year on, she can remember that a hiding spot was no good, and still potentially associates it with a vet visit.

[@sparrowasmr1773]

I swear my leopard gecko is the smartest of any reptile I've owned. She has trained herself to come out in a similar way as yours. She also knows the feeding tongs and gets very excited/alert when she sees them. No other reptile I've had seems as aware as she is. She definitely behaves differently with me than with other people as well. And if I dont change her viv up regularly, she legit seems bored. I know better than to anthromorphize but she stays hiding and sleeping much more often. When I change her viv up, shes more active and climbs around and eats better. Something about leopard geckos....

[@JTBReptiles]

With a bit of patience, I have found leopard geckos to be one of the most rewarding of the commonly-kept reptiles. They are subtle, yet clear in their approach: curious if you give them half a chance to make their own decisions. Great little pets!

[@lizard1533]

(these are quick thoughts that ive had and are not based on fact)Id like to know how you define intelligence, comparing intellect between species is likely a silly thing to do as we are adapted for different situations. By definition intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills and i think civilisation is a pretty good example to show how cleaver we are but its not comparible with reptiles as reptiles are normally solitary and wouldn't desire a civilisation. I think the vast labyrinths built by ants are a sign of intelligence and also bee hives. not sure if that makes any sense tho!

[@JTBReptiles]

It is definitely a valid point you bring up! A lizard watching a robin build its nest and then copying the bird would surely be a sign of intelligence on the part of the lizard, but it would be a pointless waste of energy inasmuch as a lizard has no use for a nest placed precariously up a tree. We therefore cannot state that the lizard is unintelligent on the basis of this - it is unreasonable to expect it to perform this behaviour. Then, I suppose you would ask, is the robin intelligent because it definitely DOES build its nest? I would argue not. You see, a bird’s nest or a wasp’s hive, or indeed a beaver’s dam, represents only its “extended phenotype”. (A badger does not sit back and plan how to build a sett that will not collapse under the weight of the earth - it simply digs in the ground in such a way that produces what is required. To do so is to follow the instructions set by its genes, not a display of intelligence.) I would say that “intelligence” has to be shown as being able to learn and to attempt novel, productive actions. Running with the previous example, a robin surely has some genetic “knowledge” about nest building, but its intelligence is contained in how it learns which types of stick are best suited for the task. Then, it could also display intelligence if it were to see that none of the twigs available would work for the build and consequently decide to snap those on offer to MAKE them suitable - in other terms, if it figured out as a novel idea how to achieve what it desires. In summary of that, I think that intelligence is contained in the ability of an animal to behave in ways that will help it to perform tasks which it could not do from simple instinct. Now, that is a sticky definition, because it must ultimately be our genes that dictate an animal’s capacity for intelligence. (If this wasn’t the case, we would have no cause for this conversation, as you could teach any animal whatever you fancied!) Regardless, it’s a start, I suppose!

[@lizard1533]

Yep, you’re right there! In terms of usefulness, I suppose mainly that it’s just interesting to know. I think we all must look at our animals and wonder, “what are they thinking?” But on a practical note, perhaps if people realise that reptiles ARE intelligent (I’d put money on them being much more clever than any of us recognise) then they will offer them the care that they truly deserve.

Out of all my reptiles, my crested gecko is by far THE DUMBEST, my Peacock day gecko is pretty smart for a reptile but the smartest is my tortoise! My day gecko is only like 3/4 months old so when he’s a bit older he could be the smartest. They are very curious and friendly! I’ve had mine for just over a month and he always comes up to me when I’m feeding him, and for the first time he climbed onto my hand and let me pat him on the head! From what I’ve read that’s pretty uncommon for them to do that. Also great video!

[@JTBReptiles]

Wow, that is really tame for a day gecko! Mine will not even let me come too close to the enclosure - but there again, that could just be the difference in the species. Again, intelligence is very hard to test. I would definitely agree that crested geckos APPEAR to be much less intelligent than many diurnal reptiles (like day geckos and tortoises), but I don’t know that we can be certain that this is actually the case. Their world is so different to ours - a world of scents, tastes, and vibrations, not a world of bright colours - so it only follows that we cannot recognise human intelligence in them. Certainly an intriguing discussion and one that I hope we’ll only come to learn more about in the future! Thank you for watching :)
