does anyone know why my 5 month old beardie turns dark when on his fake branch?
I purchase this poly-resin ornament from petsmart and my beardie loves it but the problem is that he turns dark when on it. he normaly is a light red orange and white color. Everytime I put the branch in his tank he runs and jumps on to it and within a few minutes he starts to get stress marks all over his belly and the colors on his head, back and tail start to turn dark. and when i take my beardie off and put him on his normal basking rock, his colors come back, but with in a few minutes he jumps back onto this fake branch and turn dark and black again. so now i dont put the branch in his tank anymore. so im wondering why does this happen?
here is the link to picture and information on the branch: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752670
