Hi, Pete is doing fine. I bathe him and hand feed him butterworms a long with greens and whatever else he wants. He looks very healthy and he basks daily his beard is always a gentle yellow. However some of the spikes on his beard are starting to stick out and turn orange and some orange stripes are showing up on his beard as well. In early May he will be a year old is he becoming an adult possibly? I appreciate any insight. I will post a photo if you think it is necessary.

Hello! Pic may be able to help, but the same thing happened to a lot of my dragons. As they grow into an adult, they begin to change colour and sometimes become more vibrant, especially after they shed. As long as he is happy, healthy, and eating, there should be nothing to worry about :D

Wiz has bright orange patches on his beard, too. It's never caused him any problems. I'm pretty sure it's just pigmentation that's just showing up brighter after a few sheds. Yellow patches could be something to worry about, but not bright orange.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
