Beardies are head butting each other

[Tomek]

Alright, I can honestly say ALL three of my beardies must know its Spring time because when I have them out with each other. They are very mean to one another... OR are they being mean? they chase each other and use their nose and push each other (head butting). Is that aggression? mating thing? or just being plain mean?

The closest thing I've experienced to this is a sort of nose butting, but with the tongue out. Like a really quick and hard lick. I see this between my male and female as part of the 'courtship'. Most likely this is a mating thing, but I could be incorrect.

Mine will sometimes go up and lick one another but they lick everything so I never really thought much about it. That sounds strange though... at least in my limited experience. :?:

Time to separate.

so I am thinking, this is how they mate? actually now that I think about it, they head butt and lick. I assumed it was an aggresive thing, but maybe its a courtship thing. hmmm? who knows?

 

[TheWolfmanTom]

Its mostly a form of dominance.

I think you could get them a reality TV show!
