Head bobbing and beard flaring - It is usually a visual sign of dominance, when beardies see each other no matter the gender usually they will head bob and then possibly fight to the death or until one tries to run. It can also be breeding behavior, when a male wants to breed his beard will turn completely black and he'll bob his head fairly fast before trying to mount the female.















Arm waving - Usually a sign of submission, can be preformed by either gender. 










Black bearding - Usually a sign of great pain though not always.


"Cuddling" - Usually when two beardies are laying on top of each other while basking, this is actually a dominating thing, the top beardie will usually get the best heat and uvb source while the bottom one wont and will usually fail to grow and thrive. This is seen in beardies that are cohabited in a small enclosure (less than 8x2x2 feet)














Digging - Usually beardies dig when wanting to burmate, but most commonly females will dig when they are gravid or about to lay eggs. In which that case you need a decent sized bin, washed play sand, and some screen to create a dig bin. You'll want to cut out a hole in the top and put screen over it so you can sit a low wattage heat lamp over it so the female doesnt get cold while doing what she needs to do.
