If he's a baby it probably doesn't mean anything other than he's found this new move he can do with his head and it seems kinda cool. If he's older it depends on the motion of the head bob. I think it it's an up and down over and over again without any pause it's a sign of dominance to other beardies or maybe a breeding behavior. If it goes up and down with a pause at each end I think I heard it's a sign of submission.
