Arm waving Beardie Baby

[TIMOTHY AND MATILDA]

Elmo is 13 weeks,he has been waving at me lots today,when will he start to head bob?

When you put on some thumping Tunes

I've heard the arm waving is female submissive behaviour. And the head bobbing is male dominance behaviour.

But...I could be wrong.

yeh i heard it was breading behaviour

It's not just to do with breeding really, being submissive can be about anything, be it territory, food, or partners.

yeah some beardie's wave at their crickets xD
both sexes wave when younger.
i've never seen spyro wave at all xD
he does puff his beard out and puff his stomach out daily though.
he seems to do this when he's hungry or if he's been woken up early.
he's a little git.

Elmo waved at me at the breeders when I held him,thats when I fell in love with him

As far as I know waving is submission and bobbing is aggression I don't think its regulated by sex but males tend to do it more. My 9 week old baby waves lots too and bobs every now and again aswell as puffs out his little beard lol! But then again my adult male only used to wave as a baby, he's never shown any aggression. So you may never see bobbing :P

My Beardie always bobs his head. He never really does it at me, mainly my mother or father.

Also he seems to do it quite often after he's moved to another part of his viv as if to say "Yes, this is still mine".

Only puffed his beard out once at me before.

But he's never agressive, he's a little wuss really

they puff there beards, arm wave, and head bob when it is breeding time to try and attract a female and mate. maby he wants to mate with you......jokes lol lol
