Bearded dragons wave for a variety of reasons, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Submission<\/strong>: Waving is a submissive sign usually given by dragons who view themselves in a subservient or beta position. It is a way for them to acknowledge the presence of a more dominant animal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Acknowledgment<\/strong>: In groups, juvenile bearded dragons sometimes wave as a way to acknowledge each other’s presence without aggression.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Reflection<\/strong>: One of the most common reasons for waving is seeing a reflection of themselves. They may show submissiveness to a bearded dragon that they think is another dragon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Communication<\/strong>: Bearded dragons wave their arms as part of a behavior known as ‘arming’. This is a way of communicating with potential predators and other animals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
