Dark marks on his skin

[JohnnyLaredo]

Hello everyone.

Since I bought last week my bearded dragon, I noticed from the start that he has those dark spots / marks on his skin.
I read that it might be that his enclosure is not 100% correctly and that he might suffer from stress?

Please, see attached and I kindly ask you for some advice regarding this issue.
PS. I already ordered another UVB Bulb, not a coil one anymore since I understood those can hurt them or provide them with unsufficient UVB.

Thats his coloring --- stress marks are going to be on his stomach and beard -- I would take the coil out of the tank and take him outside for some good sun/ UVB --- 15 minutes sitting on you in direct sun -- I dont know what the weather is like over there but dont leave him unattended --- if you want you can use a plastic tote NO GLASS gets too hot and NO lid --- watch him place him in indirect sun / sun the sun will do him good -- you will have all kinds of issues w/ out proper UVB so please check out the links I posted for you in my last reply

Hello.
I managed to catch him basking with his stomach in the view.
Look, I made pictures.
Are those also his coloring or stress marks?

The ones on the stomach look like shed but its hard to tell -- I am gonna have someone else take a look and see what they think - the ones on the back is coloring - I dont see any stress marks on the beard
