Please see a vet as soon as possible. Those are neurological symptoms and could be caused by a number of different things, but only a vet can really help you pinpoint them.

Keep him separate from all your other herps. Some neurological problems are caused by viruses which can spread throughout your collection, so maintain a very strict quarantine. Use a separate room if available as some viruses are airborne. Take every precaution not to bring items that have been near that beardie near any other herp unless you've thoroughly disinfected them.

A small percentage of neuro problems are caused by low B vitamin levels, particularly thiamine. Sprinkling a bit of brewer's yeast on the food won't do any harm and might help. It's worth a try until a vet can see him for a more thorough evaluation.

Good luck and please do let us know how this dragon makes out.
