The craziest thing just happened today, my beardy is around 6-7 months old and super active and aggressive towards mirrors or any other reptile in my house, btw he's a male. Normally its normal for a beardie to be aggressive at mirrors and maybe towards other reptiles but this is what's weird. Today I took him out for like the 3rd time today and was just playing with him on my bed but.... As I laid my head down next to him he crawled up my head and head bobbed on my head!!!! At first I was like oh wow that's cute and kinda hurts but then I realized what he just did! DID HE JUST ASSERT DOMINANCE over me? Anyways I was wondering if this is normal and has that ever happened to anyone? Also he does the head bob like every day at my snakes cage which is like 5 feet away but my snake is never out and he has never actually seen him so I don't know why he head bobs at the cage maybe he smells him? but its a snake normally beardies only do that to other beardies? So just looking for answers he might just be a super dominant beardie, who knows. I might post a video if there's a lot of comments of his behavior he pretty much does it everyday like a routine. And yes I know aggression and mirrors can stress a beardie out and he is fine eventually he gives up and thinks he asserted dominance that day and continues his life besides I monitor him and the mirror is not even near his cage!

Ha how funny. Well, he's in charge now. Only way for you to reassert your dominance is to bite his ear. Good luck.

He might enjoy a cat tree, that could be cool. I bet he'll like climbing it.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
