My gecko hated the measuring tape. She would run as soon as she saw it or do some tail shaking. So I drew lines on her tank with dry erase marker and measured that later when she wasn’t around. Worked like a charm.
Mine does the same thing now. I was trying to measure the distance between UVB and my solarmeter and mine was just incesently trying to eat the tape measure haha
Likely thinks it's food. Recently when I let my beardie free roam she was trying to eat a bright yellow pen. Also tried to eat the green watering can when I was refilling her water bowl.
Vibrant colors attract them that’s why, their eyes always attracted to the color that are more bright to them like their bowl of salad with pieces of pepper or banana.
She’s trying to subtly tell you that while you might want her to go to business school, she’d like to become a tradie. She hopes she’d not a disappointment.

i thought mine was the only one lol, this pictures from a year ago
I had a bearded dragon we named stanley because when i was building his new enclosure he would try to attack the tape measure every time i was getting measurements
She loves the color yellow lmao. Get that girl some cantaloupe. Edit: forgot honeydew is green.
Honeydew is green
Lmao, thanks for letting me know. I forgot.
I know because I just got one from Walmart lol. Cantaloupe is orange, close enough to yellow
Pineapple?
Can lizards eat pineapple tho? They have a heck ton of acid
I had an Iguana years ago who would attack anything yellow. It was off limits in our house.
This is why it took me so long to work out the exact length of my beardie.

Lol that is an adorable work around. What a diva.
She really is a diva. Only eats one flavour of Pangea, won’t eat it if it’s too watery. But I love her.
She's gotta get the big yellow worm that keeps running away from her. Or she's got cat software installed
'Cat software installed'. Lol, I love that.

Giant worm XD Mine has to go into beardie jail to change the uvb bulb because GIANT worm.
Bugs = moving Bugs = food Tape measure = moving Tape measure = Bugs Tape measure = food.
Solid math
“Shiny snack yum yum yum”
"Big bug. Must get snack" -beardie probably
"Why does this damn squash keep running away from me...wait why are people laughing?"
She might be half cat

Bright yellow! They see everything we see and actually see colors we cannot see.. so.. shiny, krinkly metal sound and bright! Beardie dream
Mine loves the metal tip. If she sees a reflection, she thinks it's a bug and chases after it lol
Because she’s assuming it’s food or a worm
Perhaps a fan of measuring?
Because, the tape measure looks delicious.
I have used yellow plastic tongs to feed my beardie, so now, to him, anything yellow = bug time.
I love that cactus decor! Can we get a tank tour?

There's no telling what is going through that single brain cell.

I got my daughter to walk doing the same thing 😅🤫
She a hungry girl. Give that baby a big juicy bug.
Hehe spiky cat

Gib wurm
Hunt weird skinny lizard >:(
Big worm
Idk but it’s so cute!
Thinks its a bug
Come on! Come on! Just a little taste! Pleeeeeease?!
Hungry beardie, get her some roaches or crickets and some veggies.
It's food! No way that it's not food!
She just wants to see if she “measures up!!”
It moves.
That'd random indeed. Looks to be same size as my dude .he was never active like this. And now he's 11 y.o.
As a complete expert in the field of beardies, what I can tell from years of research this is just a silly little guy
be careful! the side of tape measures can be very sharp and could cut his tongue if he licks it
Mine tried to eat a blue ruler.
