puffing up?

[fiestyjess]

My beardie, Batman, 16 weeks, just randomly puffed up like a tomato laying on his basking spot? the only time I have seen him do it, was in the bath.
Hes eating and acting normal? is this sometimes normal behavior?

He's learning how his beard works. When Rubio, who's now 3 yrs old, first discovered that not only could he puff his beard but he could turn it black, he was almost cross-eyed with effort, puffing it out up & turning it sort of black for days on end. He was just a bit older than your beardie. It's the beginning of figuring out he's male! And it's really funny to watch!

Wait til he starts bobbing his head at everything.

A few months back, when my male dragon Thor was about 15 months old, he started bobbing his head a lot more often when I let him roam about my apartment. He's done things like charge into a room and bob his head and run up to my Playstation and bob his head at it. He seems to frequently do it after being picked up and put down somewhere; it's almost like he has to assert his independence after being moved. He also does a lazy head bob while lying down at times. Lazy dragon can't even stand up to assert his dominance. :lol:

he has gotten more adventuresom, he has always been more laid back, but Thor(a) our female has ALWAYS adventured everywhere.
