For the past few days (I only got my beardie last Friday mind!), I have noticed that Gizmo will sometimes try and run into anything white - both in and out of his viv.
For example, the back of his viv is white, and he will regularly headbut it for minutes on end. When we let him out of his viv, we have a white paper shredder that he will charge at full speed. When I take him in the bedroom, he will run up and down the wall, headbutting the white skirting board...
It's extremely strange, and he only seems to do it to things that are white?! Has anyone experienced this? Do they have issues with seeing things that are white, or a particular sensitivity to the colour (like bulls and red maybe...)?
I guess most of all I just want to know if this is something I should be worried about? I took him to my local reptile specialist pet shop 2 days after we got him (not for this reason) for a general check up and the guy said he was perfectly healthy.
Any help is much appreciated
