I've got a female beardie who's a little over a year old. She's never been a problem and never had any health issues.

I was away for a little over a month on tour and had a great breeder look after her for me. He even got me a new tank, set it up and everything. I brought her back home about a week ago and she just started something VERY strange last night that she's continued tonight: she sleeps upright!

I wish I had a camera but she's propped up on her tail with her body flush against the side of the tank. I checked the temperatures on both sides and they're perfect. She's been sleeping, propped up, on the cool side both times now. I really have no clue how or why she's doing this. She's behaving like a normal dragon during the day...nothing else has changed. She just props herself up now to go to sleep.

Can anyone think of why she'd be doing this? Should I be worried? Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? Is she just a weirdo? :confused:

Hmmm a PIC would help ALOT but i guess its just werid behavior alot of animals have there own personalities observe the berdie for the next couple of days and see how its doing.

Its perfectly normal for dragons to sleep in weird positions, I'm surprised you've never seen it before:)
