Beardie FLIPPED out outside and now is scared and retreated to her hide 😔

Hey guys I got home took my Amber outside she was on my shoulder I was gently petting her I brushed a few loose scales and she bolted.

She jumped off my shoulder (I was sitting on my porch so probably 1/2-1 foot fall) she squeezed between a few containers on my porch and I caught her before she got stuck.

I gently firmly held the base of her tail (near her vent) and placed my hand under her belly and picked her up she was flattened out like a slab and mouth gaped and beard in full display.

I put her on my chest upstairs and she calmed down I talked her down and consoled her but as I lifted my leg to get up she again flattened out and gaped real big.

I put her in her enclosure then I fed her came back and she was still tweaking out full beard flat and sideways then she went into her hide and hasn’t came out since (about almost 2 hrs).

Did I do something? I have NEVER seen her react this way idk if she seen a hawk or big bird or what but she just went in full defense mode.

I talked to her calmed her down made sure she knew it was me and nothing was gonna hurt her she has been spooked before outside but not this bad.

Note: Loose scales as in scales that are shedding but are extremely loose but I don’t take them off I let them be and just soak her and let her rub them off
