I have two bearded dragons and evey now and again (at no particular time) they both stand on their basking stump and make circular motion with their arms like they are waving at me .. Strange behavior.
Do you think this could be an issue as they both do it a lot?
I don't have any picture's either as I am quite poor and do not own a camera , sorry guys.

Good to hear, I was quite worried as I have had a bit of trouble getting the hang of looking after them.

Nothing to worry about, mine do it when they get excited, for lack of a better word.

Its a submissive gesture to a more dominant individual.

IMO, it not just a submissive behavior, mine still do it when housed alone, and even more so when placed in a new enclosure (alone).
And when they do it during feeding, i really hope they arent being submissive to Crickets...lol

That is so weird.. Heh and to think I was worried. Thanks for the feedback, thats a load of my mind.
Now I can spend the rest of my day worrying that my house will burn down due to the 50 million things I have plugged into my power board!

Maybe they see u as their carer as one of them, and being submissive towards you.
