You dont want them to black beard--- that is a sign of distress or pain

Karrie, not always. It is also a sign of territorial behavior, or a signal to the female that the male is wanting to breed.

Typically a dragon housed alone won't black beard very often, if at all. It usually takes seeing another dragon to cause it. From there the territorial (or mating... :lol: ) ritual begins. Sometimes they will black beard for seemingly random reasons.
But if your dragon is ever expressing a black beard and that is accompanied by sickly or lethargic behavior, that would be a sign of serious distress or pain like Karrie mentioned.

I have also heard that once they figure out they can do it, they do it all the time for fun. :roll:claudiusx":398g1qvw said:

mine is almost one year old and doesn't blackbeard. she is a girl if that has anything to do with it.
All dragons will black beard ---- if its breeding season like Brandon said they will do it ---- if your dragon is in distress or in pain they will do it ----- that is NOT a good sign ---

When the males do it as part of "struttin' their stuff"--along with all the head-bobbing, waving, & foot-stomping--it can really crack me up. :lol: Kinda like when a male dog tries so hard to mark a tree higher than any other dog that he winds up tipping/falling over backward... :laughhard:
