5am Freak Out

[BeardieNewbie15]

This happened a few weeks ago, but I haven't had much time to ask anyone about it. Finally I get my chance, hopefully you guys have some ideas.

A few weeks ago around 5am I woke up because I heard a strange bumping/tapping sound. I looked over and Sheila (my 1.9yr old rescue bd) was sprinting back and forth in her tank and bumping her nose into the glass. Sheila is usually a pretty laid back lizard...she doesn't move a whole lot and certainly doesn't run! So I watched her for a few minutes to see if she would calm down but she just kept moving and running. I didn't know what to do so I took her out and tried to calm her down. I had her out for about half an hour before she finally settled down.

This has only happened this one time...but if it happens again is there anything else I can do? Why did it happen in the first place?
Thanks!

maybe she had a bad dream or something in your room was starling her?

She could have spotted a shadow that looked like something yummy. Or of course it could be hormones. Its still summer so she could still be hitting that over-excitied phase.
If its just a one time thing I wouldnt worry :]

Is she still doing that? If so, she could need to lay eggs!

It just happened the one time...oh no i hope she doesn't need to lay eggs! Should I make a digging box just incase or do you think shes okay now?

 

[Ethelia]

if its just happened the once dont worry about a digging box. when they have eggs they are crazy 24/7 :]

Oh okay, *FEWF*! Okay so I guess I will just keep an eye on her and hope this doesn't happen again. (I like my sleep!! :lol: )
