Black Bearding while sleeping

[Khaleesii]

So I know why beardies generally black beard but I caught my guy doing it in his sleep which Ive never seen. Has anyone else seen this? Could he be dreaming or perhaps sick? Gosh he stresses me out sometimes! I picked him up and pet his beard like I normally do when hes upset and it went away...Just curious what others think of this.

If his beard's not black when he's awake, I would guess it could be because he's dreaming. Maybe he was having a bad dream. I do think they dream. I've seen mine moving her legs a little while she was sleeping.

I've caught my guy head bobbing in his sleep before :lol: it was too cute, never seen him black beard in his sleep though.

Wow never have seen him head bob in his sleep but thats adorable Yeah he was doing it a couple of nights in a row. I think he might just be cold at night because I live in NJ and its been ungodly cold recently. Ive been putting on his infared light at night now and havent seen him do it since.
