I just got a new little beardie yesterday and I already love it! I've had them before, but none of my previous ones ever waved! This one has been doing it alot since I brought it home, I think to it's reflection! It's so funny and cute! :)

The waving is adorable! Mine did that when he was younger, I read that its a submissive behavior, it could think you're wanting to eat it :(

Yes, I read that also! He did stop since I've been handling it more now. I'm trying to get him to be calmer when I take him out of his tank to handle him, which is becoming quite the challenge! But once I hold him for a little bit and start rubbing his head he calms down pretty quick. However, how long that lasts is a gamble! He tries to jump out of my hands all the time! All the other beardies I've had were never like that, but I think they were more used to being handled when I got them. He's definitely a little crazier than my previous beardies! haha

Yes! I chose him because he was the darkest one at the shop I got him at! He was also the biggest. All the previous beardies I've had were all very light colored, so he (or she) stood out to me! I think it's going to look pretty cool when he gets bigger!

Well he is very handsome :) I'd like to see him as an adult, see if his coloration changes at all!
