Mr. lizard
My male bearded dragon started waving his front legs almost in slow motion it seems, when we introduced a female into the tank. She is allot bigger then he is, but they get along. He will slowly creep up to her and he will wave one front leg at a time, or he will climb on top of her. Another question I have is my female starting digging holes in the sand, and it seems like she wants to get out. She trying to climb up the side of the glass. What are these bearded dragons doing?

he courting her. look it up. beardies wave as a form of communitaion. they olso bob heads and the males can change the color of there throuts. usually black when irritated. the famale may be getting ready to build a nest or she may want out. do research on caring for eggs and gestations periods of dragons. good luck
