Many of us on platforms like this are introverts, or autistic, or have social anxiety, or for whatever reason, have trouble meeting new people or engaging with strangers. If someone wanted to engage you in conversation, what topic would you be happiest to talk about?
I worked nuclear rocketry back in the day. There were only about 40 people nationwide doing it at the time. I have a few cool associated stories. Many of those people seem to be dying or retiring.
Also used to have a golden tegu when I was a kid. An iguana too, but those are not as interesting.
This is the best post ever. OP did well on the one! I have something to relate to many comments. I wish you all were my friends!
Iguanas are plenty interesting to me, though I imagine a tegu probably is more sociable. My personal experience with lizards has been with geckos, but I hear that tegus tend to be very friendly, for a lizard of their size.
