plus..2 leos (Fraggle & Lilly), 1 crestie (Cadbury), 1 corn (Rusty), 2 Tarantulas, 1 hamster (Nugget) and Yemen Cham (Gene)

The reason they do it is to regulate their body temperature. It could be they are to cold or to hot. Dont worry about it.

just to point out..
this is normal behaviour usually associated with whilst basking/in the warm end...
whilst stannding/sitting still.

If the same behaviour is shown excessively or more often than not whilst the beardie is in the cool end, or whilst obviously making an effort to escape the viv, then you know it is infact soemthing to worry about and may be the viv overheating.

Just stating the obvious really.
