Crazy head bobber!

[FalkorsMommy]

Falkor head bobs a lot. Not all the time, but he has crazy head bobbing spells a few times a day. He runs from one side of the tank and stops and head bobs, he runs to the other side of his tank and stops and head bobs. He climbs up his log and head bobs at the top, he gets in his hammock and head bobs. He just runs all over the place head bobbing at nothing. He is very friendly but used to be a tough guy. I was just wondering why he does it, I know sometimes he can see his reflection in the glass but a lot of the time he just head bobs at nothing. When he does it he will sometimes have a black beard but not puffed.
I take him out a lot. This is how he spends a lot of his time.

So you have a headbobber, huh?! I am going to say Falkor is probably going through puberty and has discovered something he can do and do well, LOL, headbobbing. It is very normal.. blackbeard and all. No need to worry!
Here is a little article on headbobbing if you are interested. :wink:

Hahahah so cute, that's how Bones spends most of his time out of his cage too -- boob cuddles! XD Adorable!

Sometimes Bones will head bob at nothing as well, and when it's not his reflection I noticed he does it when I add new stuff to his viv or change the layout! He likes bobbing at plants... I think Dawn is right, they're just angsty teenage lizards!

HAHA! He just turned a year, and what else is really strange he used to be VERY aggressive. I couldn't even pick him up, he would hiss at me and sometimes jump at my hand and try to bite me. He always had a black puffed beard anytime I went near his tank. Now he is a total angel, it's like he changed overnight and it also happened about the same time the crazy head bobbing started. Now I just reach in his tank and pick him up, he never gives me a beard and I can give him kisses and everything. He even lets my Husband touch him and he HATED him.

LOL! I guess it is the opposite for beardies than it is for humans. As soon as my son became a teenager he didn't want anything to do with me.
It sounds like puberty has it's advantages. Well at least in Falkor's case, LOL

Draco will bob at everything and anything. I don't have any other animals around but fish, so I'm not really sure what he is bobbing at most of the time. He never black beards, or is aggressive, just loves to run around on the sofa, or around the edges of a chair in our house bobbing with every step. It must be a teenager/puberty thing. hehe you lizard looks quite comfy though!
