Can you post a picture of him?

Has this been going on for awhile or did it just happen?

A couple things can cause them to go dark. Stress, pain, sickness, hormones, fear, or aggression. Do any of those help explain what might have happened?
If it's just a one time thing and it's over with quickly, it's usually just because they got scared, or were trying to act tough for one reason or another. If it's constant it can be an indicator of some of the other things I mentioned.

Did he get scared or go through a scary experience?

If you want, we can go over your husbandry too to make sure there is nothing wrong in that aspect that could be affecting him.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
