Does the coloring come off? If you wipe it? Heres a link if you haven’t already read it Yellow fungus in bearded dragons, to me it looks like his normal coloring, whats the bathing schedule? How does the tank get cleaned, did you get the beardie recently? Or have you raised it? Usually yellow fungus is given to them by a dirty cage mate at a reptile shop, if you keep the enclosure super clean, dont have any other bearded dragons, and rasised the beardie , its most likely not YF. Your guy is already super yellow/orange so its kinda hard to tell without more information.

I clean him once a month and these spots don’t come off.His tank is clean fairly often and I’ve had him since he was a baby with no other beardies

I dont want to say Definitively that it’s not yellow fungus maybe wait until some more forum members comment but I’m almost entirely sure it’s just his natural coloring changing do you know how old your bearded dragon is?

He’s about a year and a half old

When he’s awake if you can post more pictures, maybe in different lighting settings thatd help us aswell. How has his appetite been?

In my opinion it doesn’t look like YF, do wait for some other opinions though, your beardie does need his nails trimmed though...
