• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My beardie keeps moving his two front arms/legs in a circular motion. I think hes stretching. It looks like hes waving to you when he does it, What is he doing?
 
Mine do that all the time. Mostly when basking. Im not sure the exact motivation behind arm waveing , but I do know it is completly normal.
 
Arm waving in juveniles (and sometimes adults) is submissive behaviour. It is caused by intimidation by something larger or scarier than the waver (sometimes, it is the little dragon's reflection in the glass...).

It is a normal behaviour. It is just another part of the somewhat complex array of communication behaviours that Bearded Dragons possess. Not too long, you'll begin to see pushups, bearding, flattening, circling, bobbing, etc.
 
Totally normal, this is why they are often called the "tata" lizards in Australia, that was the name that the aborigines gave them before they were officially described and scientifically named

Tata= goodbye
