Answer

The nodding of its head is typically a warning sign to you or other would be threats. It is a natural reaction when they are excited, agitated or trying to defend themselves or their turf.

The third eye is an adaptation from prehistoric times. nobody is quite sure why they have it or why some lizards kept their third eyes while some species of lizards didn't. personally, I think they have it to better sense heat and movement from above, since they like to hangout in trees. but that's just my opinion :)

However - I personally would advise any pregnant woman to avoid handling reptiles altogether - as a safety precaution.
