Help Blackbearding!

[izz]

Sparks has been on top of his platform under his light almost all the time. The times he does come is spent glassdancing blackbearded and going on his basking spot blackbearded.

Is this normal, he is almost 2 and he has never done this before.

He is my first beardie and i'd hate to be stressing him out in some way.

As I said before, black bearding and glass dancing are normal in a hormonal male,

Now some times black bearding is a sign of pain or discomfort, but I suspect its jjust his hormones kicking in

Okay. How long do you expect this to last?

 

[GeckoGarden]

Varies,

Mine does it year round, unless hes burmaiting.

My 7 month old is running around arm slapping, black bearding and head bobbing all day. I'd say its hormones as well...........lol

Hobbes came out of brumation on Saturday morning and has been crazy ever since (he is about 18 months old). He has been glass dancing, head bobbing, black bearding, eating like crazy, and on Saturday he literally ran all over the first floor of our house for an hour. So I would say your buddy is acting normal and it's nothing to worry about
