Bearded dragon back scales turning black?

Hey everyone my 6 month old bearded dragons back scales have recently turned kind of darkish, is this normal. He hasn't shed his body in about a month and hes got that random shed stripe on his tail.

Hello,

That just looks like normal color variation changes. Do they change color when he is in the
tank or just out of the tank?
They change colors often when their body temperature changes.

I agree with Tracie. She knows reptiles very well, and I trust her advice and judgement completely...Unless the dark areas spread or become darker, they are likely just natural colorations.

Well I noticed they are there all of the time, if I had to guess something like they look sunburnt scales
