Regarding Tail Shaking

mike_ny Oct 23, 2003 07:55 PM

i keep my two beardeds together which ive done since i bought them in august but im concerned because the larger of the two has been shaking his tail alot lately whether it be in the cage or when i take him out. im not sure whether i have males or females yet i think their still too young but does anyone know if this constant tail shaking can be a sign of sexual desire?....he/she also rubs his head almost violently against the floor and his tree bark sometimes. can anyone help me?

mine rubs its head when it is shedding and wags its tail sometimes when eating crickets.

any chance of this being sexually related?....i hope im not possibly stressing the smaller one out...his eating habits have been erratic of late

Sounds like an itchy dragon, probably getting ready to shed or shedding.
