Beardie going crazy

[Nove2112]

My 6-month bearded dragon has been acting so weird. He is shedding and going crazy. He is running EVERYWHERE and glass surfing and scratching the glass trying to climb up it, he has lived in his cage for 4 months. I have no idea what his problem is. Everything else is fine eating poops fine urates are white. Please help.

Edit- I believe he is starting to hurt himself bumping his nose on the glass really don't know what to do.

Hello,

It sounds like he has hit possibly hit beardie puberty! This happens pretty often around that age.
Have you changed anything in or around his tank, that could be stressing him out any?
You could try covering 2 or 3 of the sides of his tank, to try & calm him down if he's seeing his
reflection in the glass. A lot of times, when they see themselves in a mirror, etc, they will start
bobbing or black bearding.
Is his chin looking banged up at all?
Have you double checked the temperatures in the tank to be sure they are optimal & not too hot?
