What is she doing?

[Julie77]

Sorry its' blurry.. She Puffed up her entire body... Stretching?

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.

Pookie does the same thing. I call it "morning stretches" - he'd poof up his entire body and beard, then deflate, then poof up again.

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.

Flappity Flappity Flap! Beard exercises! They'll flap their heads forwards too. Yup, just like a stretch!
