Please Help. Is he sick??

[Bobbi]

Bayne has done this since I got him but when I took him to the vet, at that time it only seemed like he did it when he was about to poop so the vet pegged it as a weird thing to help himself digest his food. It's slowed down, but he's never actually stopped doing it. Does anyone know why he does this?

In my opinion he looks just fine, he looks like hes just stretching his beard... Izzy does this especially in the am and when she's shedding her beard..

Patsy said the same so I'm sure that's what it is. She hadn't answered yet so I posted here to get everyone's opinion. I'm glad that's all it is!

Just beard stretching.

It's called gular pumping. It's a way of forcing air into the lungs since lizards don't have a diaphragm. Nothing to be worried about!
