Hey all, I adopted a beardie last month. He is my first dragon. I noticed today his color looks darker than usual and last night he was itching his head like a dog. He also hasn't been basking as much the last few days. I read that he's probably about to shed. Are these normal behaviors if that's the case? Eating normally, healthy regular poops, & still content being handled.

Yes, the skin that is getting ready to shed does change colors before a shed, and they do get itchy. They also darken themselves when they are trying to absorb more heat/light...

Can you post some photos of her and the colors you're talking about?

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 💔
