TAIL WHIP

when ever i touch my beardies tail right near the tip, he/she whips it away very fast and runs for a few steps, is this normal?, what does it mean?

I think it means she would like you to stop tickling her tail.

Every time I poke my friend in the forehead with my finger - he knocks it away. is this normal? What does it mean?

hehe - sorry -

I think the beardie does not like it.

it's just that he never used to to that, i was just wondering if he was stresed out or somethin cuz usually he doesn't make any sudden movements, he's extremely dosile, the most i've ever seen

I did not mean to offend ya. It was just a funny question.

Does he watch you touch his tail? I mean - if he does not watch it - he probably has no idea what is touching him.

I dont think it is anything to worry about - and I consider it normal.

Agreed, sounds like your beardie doesn't like it and wants you to stop.

Perfectly normal behaviour of an annoyed dragon
