Bearded Dragon making weird noise...

[OviDear]

It's strange... It sounds like he's hissing but he isn't angry.... AHH he did it again!! I don't know what's going on with him now! Please help!!!

Is he still doing it ?

Is he still doing it ?

Yes. He started doing it again today and I realized that he just wants to be left alone. He just started doing it the day this topic was made, so I didn't really have any idea what was going on. All is well now!

They will do that at times like you said....no black beard but a little hiss from a grouchy dragon.
Is he new or have any health problems ?

Yes he has MBD, and he is brand new to me. I rescued him from a friend who got him when he was young and then as the years went on he stopped taking care of it. Trex (chrex) is 10 years old and is an amazing dragon when he gets what he needs. I took him outside in the morning yesterday (we have been having very cold weather recently and the sun came out after 4 days of clouds :lol: ) and he was moving around and basking, he even got pissy with me when I was picking him up. We had a dog cage thing (the thing for puppies when you don't want them to go to certain areas) and I left him out there with a box for shade and some food, he was out there for a couple of hours and then finally let me pick him up to say that he was done . I only had him outside for so long because I don't have a UVB light and NEED to get one!

That's great if you can get him outside regularly, just be super careful that no animals can get to him, esp. roaming cats. Do you have pics of him and his set up, including the outside one ? Here's how to post pics :

It may be that it's a bit painful when he is picked up so be very gentle and support him with both hands. Plus he's in a new place that he is not familiar with, pretty stressful after 10 yrs. with another owner but good for him since he was neglected.

I'd have to set up the outside cage again in order to get a picture, it's currently inside and folded up because it's going to rain soon. But here is a picture of his tank, it's very plain because he doesn't seem to want to climb up on anything (and he has a very hard time holding on to things) add because I only have a limited amount of supplies at the moment.
