New Behaviors?

[Apollo_the_Dragon]

Hello! My 17 month old beardie has recently (within the last week or so) begun to display new behaviors that have concerned me. He looks and acts normal otherwise (not lethargic, poops, eats, jumps on his climbing towels) but has begun doing some sort of beard twitching/flaring behavior? Idk if it’s some sort of hormonal thing, he’s hasn’t really displayed anything of the sort so far. He does seem to lick stuff more, which I’ve heard can be a male thing. I’m keeping a close eye on him, but has anyone seen behavior like this before?

Thank You!

Can he see his reflection?

Can you maybe get a video of him doing it? The best way to do videos here is upload them to youtube and post the link.

He can when in his tank, and I saw him simply staring at himself a bit ago. He was licking/beard flicking several times last night when he was chilling on my shoulder.

Yes, I can try! I haven’t seen him do it yet today, but I will watching for it.

Wow sorry y’all, my text boxes got really funky there and sort of mixed together. I think I fixed them; hopefully they make sense.

If they get outta whack, it's hard to put them back. I struggle with it sometimes to

Hey guys! I have not seen him do the behavior again, but he has been puffing out his beard (not all the way) just a tad bit more than usual I feel, and well as turning just the edges of it black. He does it mostly in the morning, especially if I take him near the window to sit in the sun for a bit. (He has a lamp, we just have good sun in his room which he enjoys.) I’ve been a little stressed about his new little quirks, but he looks and acts fine otherwise; if anything, he’s probably more alert than before, but I am continuing to keep a close eye on him.
