Beardie won't stop glass-surfing!!

[Aquilist]

Hello!
I've had my beardie around 9 months now - he's around 11 months old.
He's in great health, super active, fed calcium dusted dubias once-twice a day. He has perfect lighting, temps, humidity etc.

i let him out atleast once daily, he gets atleast 30 minutes out of his tank each day. Usually over an hour.
On nice days I put him in the outside enclosure.

Anyway, for a few weeks now he glass surfs very frequently. He aggresively scratches at the front perspex, and thumps against it.
I assume he wants out, but he seems to ALWAYS want out. Would he prefer more free range time?

His tank is huge 4footx2foot, so it's not that.

i can't seem to get him to stop.
Any tips?

Hi there, are you 100% positive he is a male?

It could just be hormones. They tend to get really hormonal for a few weeks around this age.

If your husbandry is proper, that's what I'd attribute it to.

Hormones --- is it a male or female? Mine has been doing the same hes a male for the last couple of weeks -- I bring him out for approx 2 hrs per day to sit on the back of a big chair to look outside - he will do that for like an hr or so then crawl down onto the seat behind a throw pillow and go to sleep - an hr later or so I will put him back in his tank and hes good ---- he too is in a 4x2x2 tank ---
