Blue Ridge Dragons
Hello,
I have a question. I have this awesome Hypo Super Citrus female. She is absolutely stunning with her color. Going to be a full body, saturated lemon yellow as an adult. She is still a small dragon, maybe around 11" or so. (NOT the one in my avatar.. different one).
This girl, however, also does some very strange things, and so I have come here to hopefully get an answer from those who are way more experienced.
Please note that this isn't something that has just happened recently, she has been this way since I got her about 3 months or so ago.
Sometimes, when she stands, she will stand not with her feet on the ground like a normal dragon, but she will stand on her "wrists", with her feet folded behind.
And when I pick her up, she doesn't do like a normal dragon and try to grab onto my hand and hold on, she kinda crosses/tucks her arms, sorta like a human would do. She makes absolutely no effort to hold on.
And then when I go to put her back in the cage, I'll put her back in and she'll just lay there, with her arms still "crossed"...
after about 5 minutes though, she'll get up and just run off and bask like any other normal beardie. Also, during handling and shortly after being let back into her cage, she doesn't move almost any of her body.. it's like she is stiff as can be. No quick looking around like many dragons, no licking.. nothing..
She also does the "crossed arms" thing when I put her into the bath. I literally have to pull her arms out to make her stand in the bath, because at first she won't do it on her own. But then she's fine after that.
She eats and runs around like normal while in the cage. But for some reason, when I pick her up or put her back into the cage, she's always doing something weird with her arms or acting stiff as a rock.
Any ideas?
