I've been seeing beardies on instagram, fb, tumblr etc with bulgy eyes.
I wonder why they are like this. Is it a birth defect? Like under-bites?

the first dragon looks like he's eye popping, something they do when they're going to be shedding that area soon. The rest just have that type of head structure :) it's fairly common for beardies with shorter snouts to have eyes that look like that.

Yup - the first one is just eye-bloating. It's really gross to watch - they "huff" several times and literally inflate their eyes. They hold it, twitch them, then deflate them, with several blinks.

The rest of the dragons are just how they are - adults over four years tend to go "frog eyed" like these. My Tsam has classic "frog eyes". :)

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
