Why is my bearded dragon attacking itself?

Question

i got my 6 month old bearded dragon a few days ago and sometimes it sees its own reflection off the glass and starts attacking it. it does live alone, and i was wondering how long would it take for my bearded dragon to realize its not another lizard. also, i am having trouble controlling the humidity of its tank. i no its suppose to be 30% or less but its usually 35%-50%. please answer as soon as possible.

Answer 1

Um...that is normal.  I had that same problem w/my bearded dragon.  I just got some cool backing for my tank so that he couldn't see his reflection!!

Answer 2

lol its emo

Answer 3

research to figure out how to lower the humid, if you really are worry  about the glass being a stress factor, line the inside in a nonflamable item. just make sure the heat lamp cant catch it on fire. i taped newspaper on the inside to prevent them from seeing out and reflections.

Answer 4

Cuz its retarded

Answer 5

this is normal. sometimes it's because they want out or they're hungry. i've had mine for about a year; she still does this allll the time.

Answer 6

I would controll the tanks temperature and see how this affects his behavior. Also try taking the glass away. Hope this helps
