Can you get your camera or cell device to make a video and then upload it so show us what you are talking about ?

Also …

a very detailed rundown of it's tank layout,
the exact lights used and how they are installed,
the feeding schedule,
the lighting schedule,
the diet,
the temperatures.

And how long has this been going on ?

You beardie is seeing her reflection and is freaking her out you beardie thinks there is another on the other side you can put something to block that like gift wrap.

Hello,

How long has your dragon been having these spasms?
Can you review your tank setup for us, such as the type/brand of UVB, supplementation, etc
so we can be sure it is all correct?
I see that her head is shedding, but I don't think that would affect her behavior quite like that.
It could be the start of calcium deficiency problems. I am glad to hear she is eating a good
amount still.
Let us know how she is doing.

I think this not a response to reflections.

I believe it's either
> a neurological issue
or
> very irritated eye or ear .…. a vet needs assess this and determine the cause .

I see a bit gritty stuff laying about , some might be between the eye and eyelid or eyesocket and will make the eye very itchy.

Hi there, sorry that your girl is having such an issue, I know it's scary for you. Definitely a neorological problem or inner ear . Was she bathed anytime before this ? Sometimes water in the ear can cause imbalance. And how many crickets did she eat ? I doubt that has anything to do with it but you never know. Interesting that she took the time to eat something quickly from the floor. What type of supplements do you use + what uvb bulb ? Lack of calcium and vitamin B can cause motor skill problems.
