Bearded Dragon Behavior There has already been said a lot about Bearded dragon behavior in general, especially about the characteristic beard darkening behavior, the head bobbing behavior, open mouth behavior, some forms of the arm waving behavior etc. Bearded Dragon Territorial Behavior The truth is, all these signs mentioned above is actually part of the Bearded dragon territorial behavior. Females might also show this behavior, but males tend to be a lot more territorial. These are all the signs you'll see when your male Beardie is trying to protect his own little area. This will be especially true when predators or potential threats like other male Bearded dragons try to interfere. A single male Bearded dragon can happily guard his territory consisting of one to a harem of females. He will not only protect other females, but he will chase potential breeding males away from them. This is an evolutionary phenomenon where only the strongest Bearded dragons breed and carry their genes on towards their offspring. |

| In captivity Bearded dragon territorial behavior might be seen when any gender dragon is added to a established group of animals. It will continue to become very intense when a adult male is introduced. Fighting might ensue where various degrees of biting might also be seen. This situation should be prevented by housing male adults in different enclosures or by significantly increasing the size of the enclosure so that all the males can have their own little territory. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
