Owww! That had to hurt!

We've had our female beardie, Phoenix for about a year now, and ever since we first let her run around the house, she has had a problem. She runs full force into everything. We can tell exactly where she is by the thudding noises she makes. I whince every time I see her slam into a wall or door. Her poor little nose! We thought it was maybe an eyesight problem or something, but the vet said she was fine. We thought it was weird, until we adopted a 5 year old male, Dragon, and he does the same thing :roll: . Anyone else have directionally challenged beardies? Is this normal? Thanks!

Both of my dragons do the same thing.. I also had a water dragon that would run into things and off things all the time. I have even caught my oldest dragon (10 years old) going down the stairs.

Haha... my little guy is extremely directionnally challenged!!! Last week he ran around in a 'triangle' banging into the cupboard then the washing machine and then the laundry basket!!! Poor thing - he must have spent 10 mins in this triangle before running at full speed into the side of the fridge!!!

My little one does that. He's about 4 months old now, and he runs around his take like a maniac but he's always hitting his little head into everything.

haha one time king was resting on my shoulder and apparently he wanted to jump down, because he jumped off of my shoulder nose first into the wall behind me. haha luckily we were sitting on the bed so it wasn't too bad of a fall. I felt bad, but it was really funny what were you thinking?!

They are speed demons!
Dex frequently charges into walls/doors. It never seems to phase her.... nor does she seem to learn from it

Her most spectacular daredevil attempt was suprising me by leaping from one end of the sofa back to the next. The sofa is leather so she got no grip whatsoever and slid right off and landed in our washing hamper!
It was utterly hillarious + couldve been quite nasty if there wasnt a big pile of clothes under her.
