Baby beardie color darkening

Hello, my baby beardie (5-6) weeks) (Scully), has been a pretty dull color for about a week now. the first couple of days we had her, she had been very bright but then slowly darkened. she is VERY active and eats a lot. doesn’t seem to be any health problems but she is still a little shy because we’ve only had her for a week. is this a worry or does it seem like she’s about to start shedding? anything helps! here’s a before and after. the first two were the first 3 or so days. the second two are what she’s been looking like

Yes those feet are going to shed --- they will get a real light color opaque looking --grey or white when shedding --- she is going to go thru relocation stress --- she may slow on her eating but she should be eating something - if she completely stops eating there is a issue - and most often its basking temps and UVB - so make sure you are getting temps w/ a digital basking thermometer and have a long fixture for a UVB --- NO coils they are no good
