Hello, so I am a new bearded dragon owner and I came across something that I find somewhat concerning. So my bearded dragon's tail keeps going from dark to light and then back again. And it is just half of the tail that does this. It happens really quickly and only takes about 30 minutes from when it goes dark to go back to normal. Does anyone have any advice? I can't go to the vet as the nearest one is far away and I have no way of getting there. Thank you.

How is the dragon behaving otherwise? This color change is quite common, I see it almost daily. It's really only a concern if it stays dark or the dragon appears sick or in pain.

Thank you for responding. Does it go all the way up the tail or does it stop a little bit before the butt? She has seemed pretty normal I was worried about tail rot a few weeks ago but I did a self-treat and it went back to normal. When her tail did it a few days ago, I thought it came back, but then when I checked on her later on her tail was back to normal. It has happened two times since then.

Usually just half way up the tail. Dragons change color for various reasons, they get darker when warming up or when scared/upset.
