Arching Back?

[VEGASLIZARD]

Does anyone else's beardie arch their back like a cat and then walk around in the tub like that. I have been trying to get a pic of this, but every time I think to grab the camera before putting her in there she doesn't do it. :roll: She only started doing this a couple weeks ago and doesn't do it every time, but when she does it looks REALLY WEIRD.

could it be that she is too hot? Don't beardies raise their bellys off the ground to cool down and circulate air? I guess its the oposite of being cold/needing to digest when they flatten out?

Only a guess!

Malibus been doing this also,she did it today while eating,then again while basking.
I don't know if she has eggs making in there,Does your beardie lay eggs?

 

[VEGASLIZARD]

She's about a year and a half and has never laid eggs. I do keep a sandbox in her viv just in case though. I don't think the water is too hot. She takes a bath in my bar sink and the plug has a slow leak so I always have to add more water. I keep a thermometer in there to make sure the temperature stays in a good range.

Burt does this in the morning right after I turn on the lights. For him, its like a morning stretch.

 

[VEGASLIZARD]

Well, that would make sense because her bath time is in the morning after she has had about 45 minutes to bask and warm up.

My male, Titan, doesn't arch his back, but he stands up like a bulldog and roams around like a mean guy. Lol
