Weird colour cycle

Hey,
Well my little boy is getting massive now.
Just wondering is it normal that he'll shed so his scales will be like a fluffy grey dull bleugh colour, then he'll be pretty much flourescent green all over, then his nose will go white followed by his lips then it'll all go yellowy..
Think he starts to shed a week later..
Just thought he's having a very quick and weird colour cycle so often that I dunno A: if normal. or B: what colour he's meant to be lol!

Temperature & mood will affect a dragons color changing & shedding seems 2 frustrate them. Colors can also fade or become more vibrant during growth taking after either parent.

well he is a miserable monkey at the moment.. he pounces on the crickets like he aint been fed for 3months! (dont worry he has though!!!) hehe, could be that i did get him a better basking lamp as the other was a littleunder temp then popped, so got him a 65w instead. OR could it be that he's recently been sampling "dragon safe" flower mix? plus never seen parents of him so maybe that.. did notice all other hatchlings were various shades of the same colours.. erm warmer end of tank is 95.9 - 110 but it is quite cool in house atm. can bump that up to the 100-110 more often if needed?oh and he's exactly 6months old today.! :)
