Belly color

[Oscar Russell]

I'd like to know why my bearded dragon has this color on his belly. Will it still be there when he is an adult?

As far as im aware they are called "stress marks" although that doesn't mean that he is stressed. They come and go. My little one has them sometimes when she sleeps, sometimes when she's cold sometimes for no reason at all. What are you temps/set up like? How's his general attitude?

Miss Jones is right, they are stress marks but don't always mean they are upset. Mine get them when they are cold and when they are scared.

He had this marks since i bought him 2 months ago. When he is warmer the marks turn darker and when he's colder they more or less disappear.


By the way, I scanned him He was a little scared.
