Slow motion stalking?

[Kratoskeeper]

So i noticed Kratos doing something he hasn't done before. When he is stalking the crickets he moves REALLY slow, and will kinda do the arm wave. He usually darts towards them, and a couple times i did see him dart at them. Should i be worried when he does it slow? I just want to make sure he doesn't have some deficiency or issue.

If you watch documentaries of wild life, all predators approach their prey slowly and then attack with speed. There is nothing wrong with your little guy. He is just coming into his natural instinct. Mine didn't do this at first, but once he got bigger/older (hes the same age as yours now) he started doing this. Even when i'm feeding mine protein pellets, he does it. With quite a bit of force I might add, he sometimes worries me because his jaw hits the feeding bowl pretty hard sometimes. Crickets move quickly and your beardie wants to eat, so he's gonna take his time and make sure he catches what he wants to eat.
