Anyones Beardies done this before?

We just got a new beardie and last night we turned the TV on and all the sudden he started bobbing his head and his beard turned black. Is this weird behavior? I just thought it was kind of funny. And also I was worried he wasn't eating but apparently he doesn't like eating when people are around because when my fiancé was asleep and I was he ate his veggies but when we were around he wouldn't. Anyone else experience these weird behaviors?

My male head bobs everything. The cats, the birds, the couch, the tv, me. Everything! He also won't eat around he either. It's ok sounds normal.

Ok just wanted to make sure. Didn't want him to be stressed. His cage is in our bedroom now on top of our dresser. Its not finished or even close to what I'd like it to look like. When we get paid were gonna get more things and re do it. I wanna get the reptile carpet instead. I thought we had enough left over wood flooring but I don't know yet. My fiancé has to cut it and piece it together and he didn't get to I last night. And he goes back to work tonight. But this is what it is so far.

Thank you so much. I feel like its crap after seeing everyone elses pictures on the enclosures thread. Also I heard beardies sometimes don't drink from bowls but they get it from there food. Is this true? Right now his diet is crickets, and his greens. His greens are finely chopped mustard and turnip greens, mango once a week and butternut squash (boiled then cooled) everyday. Also I give him grapes as a treat. Anything else I should add? When I get paid I want to start up my own dubia colony as I heard they were better for them.

They do get water from food. I personally got use a water bowl because it could raise humidity and cause a uri. Here is a site for what they can and can't eat http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
