Oasis' Morning Yawn/Beard Flare - Bearded Dragon

When Oasis wakes up in the morning under her heat lamp, she often yawns and stretches her beard. It's super cute, and I finally caught it on video from my bed.

So cute. I just saw my beardie do it for the first time and it scared me. I'm happy to see that it's normal.

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Aww, how fun! Yeah, no need to worry; it's just how they stretch.😊

[@cocoalexi1145]

[@havonjrjones4165]

My lil boy beardie did it I thought he was boutta bite me no lie but he was gud after that

[@ppickles]

omg i thought mine was gagging!! so thankful it’s normal

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

I thought mine was gagging too the first time I saw it!! But yeah, thankfully it's normal and just really neat to watch.

[@WPGRPG]

I wasn't sure if my dragon was pissed or if that was just how they yawned. Turns out that's juts how they yawn

[@KiiXii]

I almost had a heart attack watching him.

[@PlanetShlorpian]

Most adorable little Sarlac pit 💙

My baby used to do her morning stretching a lot, most of the time I would just observe but sometimes I did try to poke her beard.
She always managed to deflate her beard before I could haha
Lovely video though, that's a beautiful little pancake

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Haha aww, thanks! Yeah, Oasis will deflate her beard if I approach her tank, too. She wants her privacy in the mornings, apparently.🤣

[@nocontext1115]

My beardie did this and it was so cute so i wanted to see it again

[@Lyrebird.Rainwing]

Big yawn!

[@khoifshhiez]

i saw my hashbrown doing this and almost had a heart attack 😭😭 so glad its normal!!

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Love the name "Hashbrown"!😂👏

[@M-rex123]

I love how they make themself so big and *fat* and then they yawn. Very cute

[@-Doreen]

while watching this video my beardie did it infront of me! how cute

[@Jon-px7hd]

Mine did this and I got scared cause I was petting it. He was going to sleep tho, and his bearded did not turn black so I’m pretty sure it was a yawn.

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Aww, yeah, that would've made me nervous, too! Haha but you're right. No black beard means he just fine.😁

[@sadedarris-jz4nt]

Mine did this then looked at me and crawled on my face stretched his legs and fell asleep on my face 😂😂

[@carlo1759]

Can I use this video for my reptile intro?

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Oh, absolutely! Thanks so much for asking first.🙂

[@carlo1759]

No problem man!😃

[@carlo1759]

How is your bearded dragon today still alive?

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

@@carlo1759 Haha yes, of course. She's doing very well right now! Do you have a bearded dragon?

[@carlo1759]

Yes I have, I'm a bearded dragon breeder in the philippines

[@robhalmo3946]

What’s the clicking noise when he breathes?

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Oh, that's my camera. You can hear it rattling and humming when the room is dead silent.😅

[@salamandercx5255]

Question. Is it normal for a baby beardie to want to cuddle into the back of my neck? My little guy/girl does this lmfao.

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

Aww, yeah, Oasis does that with me all the time. It's so cute. 😂

[@katlynschroeder173]

Ours did this, this morning and I thought he was stressed. What exactly does this mean? This is the first morning with us.

[@alaskanaussiefurguson]

I can't say for sure what it means, but based on my experience with Oasis for the last 3 years, she does this almost every morning shortly after her lights come on and she wakes up. I've always guessed it was her way of stretching and yawning and warming up after a good night's sleep. Congratulations on your new dragon! How exciting!😄
