Tail

[james71268]

I have had my BD for about a week, and one thing I am noticing is his tail is sometimes sticking straight up in the air and sometimes just dragging limp behind him and everything in between. Is the way he carries his tail indicative of his mood at all or anything else?

 

[whopper]

i believe if his tail is erect hes either spooked or very alert. im sure someone else will know for sure though

Hi there!! I am a new beardie slave too and my lil girl does that tail lift too! She does it when give her a bath (she loves bathtime); when she is eating (she loves to eat--lol); when we bring her out to play and roam around (which she also loves)....so I would have to say that my girl seems to do it when she is alert and happy! We took her to the reptile store and she did it, so we asked the experts there what it meant and they said she was happy and focused on something. Her responce kinda caught me off guard cuz she did it there too (which i wouldnt think she would be happy, because she was somewhere she had never been before, but come to think of it, i think she likes car rides and short trips to the store, so that had to of done it... after they clipped her nails her tail went down. Poor girl... but she really needed em done and i'm too afraid of hurting her so we took her in. LOL

Congrats on your new beardie by the way!! I never foresaw myself falling in love with a lizard, but here I am!!! :lol:

Anyone know of the "bum wiggle"??? I have heard of it here, but my girl hasn't done anything like that (I think) and was just wondering what it was that they are doing?
