Is it possible for bearded dragons to get anxiety?

I don't know if there is a good way to measure that. I know their caregivers (myself included) have tons of anxiety about them =). Is there some behavior in particular that you're concerned with? They certainly have personalities and react to their environment. All of them are a bit different. I suspect something could be going on that would display itself like symptoms of anxiety in some cases.

I think it is possible, yes. I know my Beardie displays symptoms of it when he sees a cat near him; you can clearly tell that adrenaline is flooding his poor body, and it very clearly takes hold of him. He starts to glass surf, attack his own reflection in the vivarium's glass walls by jumping at them, hissing at everything, and so on. I have to literally bring him out carefully and place him on my chest, where I gently stroke him and cuddle until he visibly calms down.
