Ok- So the title is an obvious joke but seriously IS THIS NORMAL?! HE WENT FULL ON DEMON MODE-
Earlier today
Right now
ITS SO SCARY- LIKE HE WANTED TO SNUGGLE SOMEWHERE DARK SO I MADE HIM A LITTLE BED AND HE GOT COMFORTABLE AND CLOSED HIS EYES- I GO FOR A PICTURE AND HE BLINKS WITH ALL 1000 OF HIS EYELIDS AND LOOKS AT ME LIKE THIS-
I totally get what you're saying! I remember with my first bearded dragon ever he was roaming around happy as a clam and all of a sudden, I kid you not this dragon turned all black. Started moving fast and crazy. And his eyes... His eyes where exactly like that picture of your dragon. He kept them wide open! O.O I put him on his tank and he immediately went RUNNING to his dark cave and stayed inside in a weird position with that scared wide eyed look. Idk what happened. My best guess was that something SPOOKED the living crap out of him. Maybe my ceiling fan? A bird looking object? Till this day I have no idea what happened. I remember for a check up i mentioned that to his veterinarian and she said something about my dragon having a "ADV" episode. Never even knew if my dragon had that disease. But maybe you should get your dragon tested for the Adenovirus illness? Idk just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for letting me know. He was acting pretty fine afterwards, he just napped and when he got cold I put him back into his tank. Iβll definitely keep an eye on him. Maybe heβs just angry at me for giving him a bath and not letting him onto my pillow- Hopefully itβs just a one time thing because it freaked me out big time!
The title of this post caught my eye because Rocky definitely had me feeling like WHAT IN THE WORLD at moments. As you mentioned, she snapped out of it (almost immediately). As this is my first reptile, I often wonder if my fear to the situation as I get used to her. Perhaps it heightens her senses in my case or I am jumpy at reactions when I shouldn't be but each day gets easier and easier.

He is also my first reptile lmao. My paranoid self goes through every possible problem and it usually turns out to be nothing. They love to give owners heart attacks apparently lmaoo
They definitely have some odd behaviors. I'm finally getting used to most of my guys' after more than a year, but it's amazing how many times I got freaked out by something only to come on here or another site and find out, "Yeah that's normal, they're just really weird."
