Lately when I've been coming home from work she's had stress marks. But they go away moments after I take her out and show her attention. Is this possible? Or is it more likely something else. Her temps seem just fine and she's eating and pooping.
Well to the guy above me, stress marks are always on their belly. I'm pretty sure they don't get stress marks from boredom or loneliness, because they don't really have those feelings and they are solitary so they would much rather be alone, than with another beardie in the tank because that only cause fights and stress and a bunch of other problems. The only problem I could think of is that maybe she can see her own reflection in the tank, and she thinks it's another beardie in her tank which will cause stress to your bearded dragon. If she can see her own see her own reflection, you have to make sure to stop her from seeing it, because this is actually very common in beardies. Or it could also be that the tank is too small and there is no room for her to move around like she would like to, which is why when you take her out, she feels more free.
If she is getting better, when you get home, maybe she misses you, from my readings and research, a lot of people talk about how they have strong connection with there beardies. There might be other things, but I have read a lot about how some peoples beardies like to get out and roam around.
i would like to know where these stress marks are? but if they go away in moments after taking him out, he seems fine. he might just be flairing up to get some heat .--- ------- ask a reptile place
