I have a 2 year old male dragon. He is alone in his cage, and is constantly bobbing his head at everything. We also have 2 females but they are out of sight from him. When we take him out he runs around and bobbs his head at everything in sight ranging from crickets, us, the television and even the walls. Outside he bobbs his head at birds flying by to the sun. I know its normal for head bobbing, but is it normal this frequent. He has never shown any aggression towards us. Just one of those questions I was wondering about. thanks

I'd say it's normal. He is just ready to breed. My male actually bobs more when the female is not around then when she is.

He is just staking his territory, head bobbing is a display of dominance and breeding readiness. He probably can smell the females even if he can't see them so he is making it plain to everything in sight he is THE MAN!
Perfectly normal for him to do. You can always head bob back or wave...
