Head bob and wave?

All day today he's been head bobbing and waving
I tried to get a video of what he was doing just a few seconds ago, he waves once slowly and then had a quick head bob

What does it mean? Is there it because of anything?
I have been taking him out for days in a row and he's been falling asleep on me do you think he's doing this because I didn't take him out today?

he could be seeing his reflection head bobbing is a sign of dominance
waving is a submissive behavior...
He may just be a happy dragon :)

When you figure it out let me know! My little girl arm waved at me a few weeks ago. Yesterday I had company over and took her out and she arm waved for an hour. Then this morning I went to feed her and she did it again and then again during free roam. I'm brushing it off right now as her just being moody right now because she's in one of those real thick sheds.

Could the arm waving and head bobbing be for attention?
Even for patsyb's baby could it be her trying to get your attention like "hey look mom! Look what I'm doing!"

I don't know, maybe. I know when my boy headbobs it's def because he sees another dragon and he is showing dominance. With Dolly I feel like when I go to pic her up she doesn't want me to bother her. Who knows, she's got some real thick shed on her arms maybe she is just stretching it!

You know PatsyB that might be true for Dolly...As I know Izzy is shedding right now and she's puffing her beard out, stretching her legs out alot, she's also blowing herself up like a balloon.. I think they are trying to loosen their skin for the process
