My female does this, too. It' usually in the morning, when she's just started basking. She puffs her body up, and puffs out her beard, and the yawns to sort of release it, I guess. I think my beardie is just stretching and displaying.
Spike does this occasionally. She usually just stretches out and pops her jaw.
Julie: Would you mind if I used that picture (if I am unable to capture Spike doing this)? I am making a beardie information booklet to be kept at my work (Petco) so hopefully associates and customers will get some better knowledge on their care and behavior.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
