Ok, this is just baffling me, so I had to come here and ask.
I have 2 Beardies. One a year and a half and a juvie. The older one is currently bruminating. The juvie or course is not.
Because it's winter and a bit colder than normal in our house, I put a small space heater in my room where I keep my lizards. When I've taken Misha (my juvie) out the last couple of days, I've sat with her in front of the space heater to give her a moment of extra heat. EVERY time I do this, her right arm starts to make strange motions...that I can only perhaps describe as 'digging'. She is not arm waving, as I know what that looks like, and she's not near my other Beardie whom she would do that around. It's a rapid , forward clawing, and only with her right arm.
Anybody have any insight as to why she is doing this? Something about the heat of the space heater making her want to 'dig'? But she never does this under basking lamp, which has got to be as hot or hotter than the heater. It's obviously not a major issue or anything, I'm just really curious!
