tail flipping

[jstouts]

what does it mean when a bearded dragon is flipping the tip of its tail like a worm?just like the last few inches. my male just did it and my female went crazy on him.

Ive read somewhere that it is a submissive gesture- wouldn't have expected the male to do it though :shock:

You don't have your dragons housed together do you? :?

If so you need to separate them as it will cause undo stress on your dragons, and they will mate (as you've already made posts about), and continue to mate and cause the female to possibly become egg-bound due to the stress. They are solitary creatures and need to be housed separately, especially since you have recently asked about how you can tell if your female is pregnant.

I've seen the tail flipping when one dragon goes after another, or when one is stalking a cricket at times. It seems to be actually a sign of aggression.
