Today I took my bearded dragon out to run around my room, after about 15 minutes, I went and picked her up. As soon as I did that she puffed all the way up and heard beard was all the way black. I've had her for about 5 months now, and she has never once shown any sign of aggression, or had a black beard. It was like she was frozen in place all puffed up and angry. I wasnt going to try and pick her up like that so I just left her alone for a while, but everytime I walked in the room she would do it again. I was finally able to start petting her and she calmed down, and I was able to get her back in the tank. Is this normal for a female bearded dragon? if so, what causes this? any advice?
Female bearded dragon, black beard?

Real risk with inward opening doors when lizards on are on the floor is they know the door opens and seem drawn to it the door, if they are behind the door when you open it (and you can't see they are there) the door can hit them pretty hard and give them a real fright (chance is it will hurt them too if opened fast enough and hits them).
This is why we put down across the hall door opening a long but skinny box (about 10" tall laid on it's side) which acts as a barrier (and allows the lizards to see down the hallway and us to see where they are if we are in the study or in the hall.
Lots of snuggles and petting and some extra treats to win her back over and rebuild the trust seems in order.
