Not too much of a worry, but still concerned:

So, I understand that beardies don't have spectacular eyesight, but is it normal for them to constantly bump into walls. Francis does this a lot and i'm not too concerned since everything else about him is fine, he eats well, has normal droppings, and looks fine. Just wondering if I should be concerned.

hmmm - cant help on that one. he might be just a bit hyper and not paying attention to where he's going. and - really - I don't know that there's much you could do if his eyesight wasn't so good. animals accept their disabilities much better than us humans do. to them its just normal - they don't know any different,

Thanks for your input. I guess since it doesn't bug him and nobody has told me otherwise, than its fine.

Perfectly normal. My boy runs full speed into doors and walls. I was watching my big girl yesterday and she walked into the table leg 2X! They have very bad depth perception.
