Constant Waving

[Hailie]

Hello!

I've learned that waving can be a sign of submission or even recognition but my beardie, Fish, has been waving non-stop today. He waved at me, at my husband, at the cat on the floor, at the cricket across from him, at the desert backdrop, at the bush in his cage, and even at nothing in particular. Is this typical? Nothing in his environment has changed and he does it when we're not even near the cage. He alternates between arms too sometimes one after the other like he's doing synchronized swimming or something! It's cute, no doubt, but I just hope he's not stressed or overstimulated... Any thoughts?

Thanks!

lol maybe he's just happy? He also could be seeing his reflection that happens to be pretty much surrounding him How old is he? have you shared any pictures?

He's about three months or so, I think. Here's a photo of him. I couldn't catch one of him waving though, just video that I can't figure out how to upload...

That works for me. Wave away little Fish!

Maybe a growth spurt and he's just trying to figure out who he is. They are strange creatures and we will never really understand why they do what they do.

To upload videos you need to upload them to Youtube and then insert the link here in your thread.
