Hello!
Prior to writing a response, please check my tank setup in my first post here:

1) Waking Up In The Morning:
I've noticed a few times when Drogon is waking up, he gets stress marks and a dark beard. Why is that? The internal tank temp at night is 70 degrees. Even when he's eating in the morning I've occasionally noticed marks. Do they just get cranky sometimes? (I admit, we were putting the tree up late at night so the lights and noise may have disturbed him, but I've noticed it other times too)
2) Sunning Himself:
When I put Drogon near the window to sun himself on my lap, he gets really dark on his back, beard, and belly, but he seems to like it and has plenty of options to get shade. Is this just a way of absorbing heat?
I know most beardie enthusiasts say they darken from stress, but can it be other things too?
Thanks!
Selkie
