What does it mean when your bearded dragon bobs his head?

Answer 1

When normally a male bearded dragon bobs it's head up and down, it's telling you that it's the boss or that it's in charge of everything. Sometimes bearded dragons bob their head when they are annoyed! Head bobbing can be seen in females as well; this will be a much slower motion, more exaggerated motion and is a sign of submission to a dominant male.

Answer 2

There are 2 kinds of Bearded Dragons, dominant dragons and submissive dragons.

There are 2 ways these dragons show what they are, a dominant dragon will bob it's head like it is nodding and a submissive dragon will wave it's arms.

So if your beardie is bobbing it's head that means it's showing it's dominance.

Answer 3

I have owned a bearded dragon for ten years, and it is quite common for them to bob their heads. It is often taken as a sign of aggression or excitement. For example, if they are defensive of their share of food or territory, they will bob their heads. Or if you take them outside and they are enjoying the sun and the view, they bob their heads because they are happy.

Hope this helped :)
