OMG!!!!!!!!! what is my beardie doin?!?!

Ok I posted a thread before but no one had any answers or any kinda of help so i'm goin at it again.. my beardie "hanley" likes to run back and forth in his tank, not sure why or is he's just hyper? If anyone might have a clue or they have had thiers do it too please let me know what you did to stop it or is it normal?? thank you in advance

Cheers

What size tank? how old? how big? temps?
you need to provide some info before anyone can really help you out. :)

my beardie does it occasionally too. not really too worried about it

brian, thanks your the only one who has even left a message.. he's in a 20L he's an 09 from march I think, its my gfs dragon.. the basking temp is around 105 or so. I'm into snakes myself, just tryin to learn some more on the dragons too.. thanks for your time

Cheers

HMMMMMM, he's a leeeezard in a tank. Do you think he knows he's a leeezard in a tank and maybe he's wanting to get out?;) Start worrying if he's just laying in the tank. Your Dragon is normal.:gj:

It's hard to know without seeing him, but his tank might be too small for him (depending on how old he is). You might consider upgrading to a 40 gal - give him more room to move around.

But other than that... he's just being a crazy beardie! I've noticed that they have varying personalities, and some are more hyper than others. Maybe you just got a particularly excited one ;)

yeah you need to move him/her to a 40g breeder when they get around 6mnths old they need to move to a bigger tank so yeah

sometimes young dragons will do that...mine is in a 3ft by 2ft cage and she still does that..... but shes just been a grumpy teen...

thank you all for the info, he will be rehomed to a 55gal soon.. i'll post pics when I get him all set up in his new digs.. thanks again


Cheers!

yes but either way at that age they need to be moved to an adult sized tank

Pics would be good :)

Also, what can he see? You could try covering the sides (inside better) so he can't see out (or even his own refection). Give him something to climb on as well.

Is his beard dark\black?

here's his set up as of now, he will be rehomed to a 55gal ( as soon as I find a new home for the RES ). http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/101_1285.jpg

Hanley now.http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/101_1613.jpg

He loves to strike a pose.http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/a...d/101_0961.jpg

as for his beard no it's not black.. sometimes it will get a lil darker but not black.. when that happends it means he wants to mate right?

When his beard turns dark or black it means he's pissed. Like the others have said, it seems like pretty normal behavior. How often do you take him out to handle him? They are pretty social creatures and he just might want to be held more.

oh i thought it ment they were feelin a lil frisky.. we take him out often, let him run about the house some too..
