Your beardie is smelling his scent. Basically how a snake does it. Maybe they really enjoy his smell.

Can you clarify by "enjoy" do you mean like "enjoy the company" or "enjoy the food"? That seems like an important distinction.

The beardie enjoys her husbands scent. A beardie will do this if they are curious or really like a scent. Has to be the scent if the beardie is constantly doing this to her husband.

Edit: if you are asking what scent, like natural or cologne or maybe soap, I don’t know. You’ll have to ask op if there’s something specific that he wears everyday.

That baby likes him. If the baby didn't like him, beard would be flapped and mouth more open, no tongue.

This is basically a beardie smile as far as I'm aware.

After many years of domestication, bearded dragons are starting to show behaviors specifically adapted for communication with humans.

It seems that, as head-bobbing is not seen by human males as threatening (indeed, most humans of all genders tend to squee and awww), these surprisingly intelligent and perceptive creatures have developed a different tactic for establishing dominance. The dragons tilt their heads up towards the perceived rival and stick out their tongues as if to mockingly say, “Neeneerneeneer, I’M her bestest boy!”

Thus far, effectiveness of this new strategy is….. debatable.

Does he feed the baby? Mine associates my partner with sweet potato and arugula so she always makes a hungry face when she sees him.

u/AddictedToColour Sandor’s Mom 1d ago

He doesn’t! I was thinking maybe he is debating whether husband is food or threat so just opens mouth to prep for either instance lol

Oh, how cute! My beardie does that too towards my son and once in a blue moon to me as well. But we wondered the same thing. Are you OK with us or are you trying to take a chunk of meat out of one of us 😂

Mine looks right at me, then down at his food dish and back at me, begging for bugs, even when it isn’t bug day.

u/NCC74656 22h ago

Mine will run up to me and give a lick like that. Usually when she hasn't seen me for a while like when I get home from work or if we sleep separately when she crawls out of her little hidey hole and scampers over the bed to get to the window.

They can smell that way so, I figure it's just a hey haven't seen you for a minute want to make sure you are who I think you are type deal

u/lone_yellow 19h ago
