My bearded dragon just got a female partner and now hes bobbing his head and waving whats wrong?
ok, so my male bearded dragon is 9 months old and i recently got a female bearded dragon (same age) and now when i pick up my bearded dragon or go near the female bearded dragon he will hop off his basking stone and protect her, and if im within like a 30cm radius of the cage he will start bobbing his head and waving? does this mean there going to breed or if hes mad about her being there?

He's definitely not mad about her being there! He's protecting her. They might be getting ready to breed.
It means that the male is protecting the female and they will probably try to mate soon. It's a good idea to separate them as soon as possible if you don't want babies. Also, it could be harmful to the female it you try to breed her too early. Wait until she is at least 2 years old (an adult.)
he protecting her. That means that there probably gonna mate so you might have to deal with a bunch of baby dragons soon, well in a year or so they have to be 2 years old to breed.
Hes just letting her know whos boss. Theyre VERY territorial bearded dragons.

Had five beardies at one point in time
He is protecting her. And when you get near the cage hes probaly afraid of you taking his girl from him.:-D
This is natural, he's marking his territory now that he has a female.
