Default Baby beardie Waving

I just had one of my babies out and he was on my arm and he started waving , he used one arm first then the other one and kept doing it. I have heard that they wave so wondering why it is they do it.

Also would like to know how often should i get them out to handle them ?at the moment I get them out quiet a bit about 3 -4 times a day.

As above lol its a submisive/friendly gesture, there is no set amount of time you should get them out really. However the more you get them out the more they get used to you and the more they love you lol

Yes agree with the poster above me. The more you'll hold them , the more they'll be accustomed to your touch.
