What does it mean if your bearded dragon is rolling on its side?

It depends on the circumstances. If it's quickly flicking itself onto its side and back upright, it could have parasites, and is trying to dislodge them by rolling in the substrate. If it's a 'slow roll' for a length of time, it could be something more serious - like a neurological disorder. Either way, if you're worried - take it to a vet, and have them check the little- guy out.

Take the lizard to an experienced reptile veterinarian immediately, and check your husbandry (be sure you have the proper environment and diet).
