My little one looks like that as well and scared the poop out of me. Glad to know that it is normal! BTW I have a Viper also- although we aren't sure if he's a he or a she with a really kick butt name!
Hello! We have gotten our first bearded dragon for my son as his birthday present just before Thanksgiving. We got him from a pet store and I am unsure of how old he was when we got him. But I'm guessing he/she is roughly 4 months now. I am so happy I found this forum as I freaked a bit today...
