Bearded dragon beard turning black

[Trashboat69]

Everytime i try to take my bearded dragon outside his beard turns black, he seems to be fine doesnt seem angry or anything its just weird because after i take him back inside after a few minutes its white again. He doesnt seem angry or anything when outside hes acting perfectly normal his beard just turns black. Could he be scared or something or should i not take him out anymore? Is this anything i should be worrying about?

Hi they do this for many reasons mine does it when he sees his mate in the next tank

he might just be a little scared nothing to worry about

It can mean several different things. In your case he was probably scared and nervous about being out in the strange new world. That doesn't mean you have to stop taking him out, most dragons are at first then eventually settle down. I had a female that hated being outside at first. Eventually she got used to it and I took her with me to craft shows. She would spend the whole day on my shoulder entertaining people and was perfectly fine.

Yep with my big girl Rex it mostly means (these days) :
---- I want that smelly thing removed
---- or ---- I wanted more snuggle time and you put me back
---- or ---- I really need to go (to the toilet)
---- or ---- I am miffed because you aren't giving ME ALL the attention and I saw you with that other little dragon (Peppa or Toothless)
---- or ---- I wanted to go through that door and YOU CLOSED IT
---- or ---- I want to go and run about in the kitchen and YOU ARE IN THERE (GO AWAY)
---- or ---- I can see that little skink is back inside again (and I'm scared of it).
---- or ---- I wanted crickets and YOU WANT ME TO EAT MORE OF THAT YUCKY GREEN STUFF

Okay thank you this is my first bearded deagon and i never seen him do this till the other day maybe he just has to get used to going outside because its hasnt really been warm enough for me to take him out till now. I just dont wanna stress him out or anything if he doesnt like it >.<
