if it is about dominance... theny why did my beardies do it whenever they were intimidated by another dragon?!?! and why was i told by a beardie breeder that it was a sign of lesser dominance... hmmm, maybe i have been mis informed...

I can understand that whatever it really means, it's really cute to witness, Mikhaila. Maybe your dragon thought YOU were a cat? He might have mistaken your lovely hair for whiskers?

maybe they were having dominance battles and one was trying to reestablish dominance by waving? Just a guess, I don't know beardies at all.

The front leg waving of Bearded Dragons (in fact all Agamids) is not about being dominated, but rather about being dominant. Henner was simply proclaiming his sovereignty!
I'm amazed you've never seen it before.

Indeed. It's a convenient way of communicating with other members of the same species.
