Hi there, I am a new mama to our 6 month old Bearded Dragon named Tank!
When we got him about 2 weeks ago, he was a very light fawn color, after his bath last Saturday...probably on Monday he turned really dark and now under his chin is dark all the time now too....(so now he is dark and grayish) but he still lets me hold him. I read that this is him trying to regulate his temperature (he has his heat lamp and UV lamp on for 12 hours and then dark for 12 hours). I just want to make sure I didn't make him mad at all. We have 2 pugs and a min pin mix and they do bark sometimes but he has heard that for 2 weeks now so not sure if that is stressing him or if I am just over thinking this! His POO is a good color and appears he is hydrated so just wanted to see what your thoughts were on him changing to such a dark color overnight. this will be day 2 of being dark. OH he just shed too right before we bought him so not sure if that's a factor?
