Is there anything in his sight that might be stressing him, or that he may want to dominate? Does his beard turn black at the same time?

Head does not turn black, I thought he was just trying to talk to our dogs...lol!

When I upgraded my light to brighter one I think it made it easier for my Dragons to see their reflections in the glass. Well this started a daily ritual of Vigorous head bobbing, beard blackening, and running around the cage. The other one started minor head bobbing, arm waving, and some running around also.

Also, do you have facial hair? I've got a goatie and I swear they...or at least the main head bobber reacts too it.

Interesting. I have a beard, and mine has never head bobbed at me. He does get the "sprints" inside his cage, but no arm waving or head-bobbing. He did it once when he climbed atop the "blue mountain" of boxes and a sleeping bag (blue, of course!). He got to the top, looked around, puffed out his beard, and bobbed his head a few times to state...

"I AM THE LORD OF THE HERPS!!!! FEAR MY POWER!!!! BOW TO ME!!!!"

I was rolling on the floor laughing at this display!!! I wish I had my camera then, the picture would have been classic.

Anyway, usually a beard or a head bob is a dominance maneuver, a sign of maturity in BDs. You get more head-bobbing and less arm waving (mostly in males, but aggressive females will do it too...).
