Hi, just recently rehomed a 4 year old female beardie and she’s been turning her beard black and bobbing her head. I think it’s at her reflection in the tank, but she also turns her beard black and looks at me until I take her out to cuddle, then it turns back to normal. She’s very clingy and loves when I hold her. I’m hoping it’s just her wanting to be held and not something else but does anyone have advice? I recently switched the basking light from powersun 160 to reptisun 10.0 because that’s the light she came with and it’s less bright and reflective on the sides. I was hoping the reflections from it wouldn’t freak her out as much. She’s been eating and pooping pretty normally, about once a day. I feed her a mix of the omnivore mix by zilla and the pellets from flukers. When I have time to hand-feed her I feed her fresh greens because she likes when it moves. I dust her crickets with calcium and d3 powder.
EDIT: her tank is on a shelf above my other beardie tank, is it possible she smells him? I haven’t introduced them or anything.
Setup:
Reptisun 10.0
Ceramic heat emitter
Repticarpet
