Starring up..

[Orangephoner]

So my new lemon bp starres up when I hold him. I've never seen him do it in the cage. Only when being held... is there something wrong or is it a personality thing? Mayb a sign of something? I have no clue. Any input appreciated

I would guess a sign of stress kinda like the how a spiders head wobbble shows more when its stressed, just a guess tho

Hi,

Is his mouth closed when he is doing it?

Are there any sounds like clicks pops or whistles?

Can you see excess saliva in his mouth?

Mine do this too sometimes lol! My fire boy especially. My only thought is bc floors are generally cool and ceilings are generally warmer, that theyre attempting to get to the heat source. They really dont have much of a sense of depth perception at longer distances so they probably think its closer than it really is.

Thats really the only thing ive come up with, i know what youre talking about though.

Mouth is closed, and there is no saliva or sounds just looks up. My other bp has never done this

My male normal does this all the time when I have him out. He usually chills around my neck and will stretch his neck straight up and just stare, lol. Doesn't sound to concerning IMO.

All 4 of my normal BP girls do this,my big 720 gram girl will sit and stare at her light,or even if shes around our arm or neck.. I thought it was just a weird thing that BP's do,or to bask *shrug*g

Well then it sounds like its normal for them. That's good to hear. Thank you
