So sometimes my bearded dragon will go darker his whole body. Then all the sudden will go back to his normal color is this normal or is it something to worry about

I've found him dark under both but usually its when he's under his uvb. Or usually in the morning before his lights are on

Its a sign of absorbing heat --- they usually do it under the basking light - is your UVB close to your basking decor --

His basking log is by it but about 7 inches away so he's getting both I checked his basking temps and its 106 and his humidity is always good it has been a bit colder in the mornings so try to get his lights on when I wake up

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
