Is that even possible?
Ajax is a month and a half old, housed in a glass tank with foam insulation on all sides (excluding the front) and the bottom.
The past two days I have seen him 'waving' his arms, puffing out his beard and standing up on his front legs as if to say "i'm the boss, deal with it" and he seems to be obsessed with the part of his climbing branches that goes closest to the glass of the tank. I thought being only almost 2 months old I wouldn't see waving/head bobbing/beard puffing for a while because that's a mating/dominicance thing, isn't it?
Temps are, basking spot gets no highter than 37 and the tank gets no colder than 29. (The lowest I've seen was 28, and it was at 4am.)
I have a female EWD in the same room, but she's 3 years old and 60cms+. Could she be who Ajax is waving to or trying to intimidate? Ajax is 14cm-15cm, so compared to her he's tiny. I can see why he'd feel intimidated, but I don't think he can even see Tilly's (EWD) enclosure, which is a massive wall unit, unless it's through a mirror on one of my walls.
Why is my beardie displaying these behaviours at such a young age? Should I do anything to stop it?
