Stress scales

My Bearded Dragon (2 years, male) got sevral stress marks on his belly, darkened in color and turned his beard black while he was sleeping on one of his heat cables (he realised where they were hidden a while ago). Should I be worried? Is that normal?

Heat cables????????? What is that ? There should be no heat mats or heat rocks used in the tank if you have proper lighting in the tank --- dragons heat from their backs not their stomachs-- if your using heat rocks or heat cables please remove them -- its possible it is too hot and he has burned himself if hes turning black that could be a sign of pain or distress / or both --- he needs basking temps of 95-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer NO stick ons they are inaccurate --- NO coil UVB's they are no good

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
