I have 3 "odd behaviors" to report!!

Odd behavior 1:

The first is with Clyde. She (yes, not a boy) always wants out of her cage. No biggie. When she is let out, she will start waving her arms at our largest, Bonie. After a few moments, Clyde will run over to Bonie's tank. Then she runs back and forth trying to get in the cage with her! Bonnie comes down from her log or cave and just sits in front of Clyde, maybe bobbing her head or waving once or twice. Neither of them darken in any way. And there is a pretty good size difference. Bonnie is almost full length and Clyde is almost 12 inches in length, but both are still young and not bulky.

What's going on?!


Odd behavior 2:

This is with all three of my beardies. I catch them, all the time, flaming out their beards for no reason, then licking their lips. It's a new habit they have all acquired, that's why I label it as odd.


Odd behavior 3:

Semi-brumation?! I've done a lot of research, and I'm still not convinced Bonnie is going through brumation. She sleeps more, but ... she isn't really sleeping. She just lays around with her eyes half open. She comes out of her cage only to lay under her log, but still with open eyes. Her eating has decreased, but when I do go to feed her, she eats a few crickets greedily then ignores me. She won't eat salad. Pooping normally after she eats. What's her issue?

Could you post your tanks setups please. For the first problem you posted I would say that they are posturing to each other. They are head bobbing ( try to show who is boss). If it starts becoming a problem put they away from each so they can't see one another. For the second problem. I am not sure about that. It is kind of interesting. And for the 3rd problem. I would say maybe brumation. How old is your beardie?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
