popping eyes

[illuminis]

I know usually bulging eyes mean dehydration but he eats well hydrated crickets , bathe every other day and gets misted off days from bathing. Tonight, literally 10min ago, I came upstairs and his eyes were closed and bulging. Yes, he's in a shed right now but only the body. I tapped on cage and said "what are you doing?" He popped opened his eyes. As soon as they opened they were no longer bugling. And now I an getting a glare like "why did you wake me"

Never seen him do this before

Yeah probably means is about to shed face, mine usually does it a day or 2 before shedding. Pretty scary the first time I seen him do it lol but nothing to worry about.

Was thinking that but he usually goes legs , body then head/tail. I really wished I had taken a pic before I said anything.

Here's an article that you can read that will explain exactly what he was doing in great detail. https://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/eyebulging/

Also, they don't always shed areas of their bodies in particular order. It can actually vary from shed to shed.

Thanks, just mainly have been reading about the bulging eye associated with dehydration.

That's weird, my beardy (name is Sandy ) has never done that, I was reading the article also, and it says that it might be to stretch the skin around their eyes and head before shedding, weird, it's still a mystery , as long as our beardies stay healthy and happy, we are happy. (My beardy ate a lady bug on accident last night XD) anyways, keep us posted on how he/she does
