Black baby beardie at pet store. Cause for concern?

That is usually a sign that he is going to shed soon.

 

[Ack]

Cool. I guess that means I should probably be bathing him often, but I've been trying to give him time to get used to his new environment and de-stress before I handle him. And I imagine his first bath might be even more stressful than being picked up. Maybe I'll try to slowly start easing him into handling and baths.

With the greens, he's not touching them from his bowl. If I take a piece and hold it in front of his head he'll sometimes take it from my hand, chew it for a few seconds, then spit it out. Then he won't take one again for a while. Not sure what's going on there. The pet store lady said he was eating his greens pretty well for her. He is eating crickets well, though.

How old is he? Greens don't become a big part of their diet til they get older, don't get me wrong it is still important for them but don't worry too much if he focus's on crickets lol

Ya He's shedding. Mine was doing that so I gave her a bath and she shed a lot!

 

[Ack]

I finally got some pictures of him! (or her?) The photo and the lighting make him look lighter colored than he actually is. It doesn't show up well in the pictures, but he has some really cool bright orange streaks down his sides and on his ear holes. Also his tail is lighter colored than the rest of him. Not sure what's up with that.

Here's his back:

and here's his belly with the stress marks:

here is another picture.

mine has a maroonish red brown going down his back and the red is suppose to come out brighter as he shed. i so if your is the same then it should be a red bearded dragon

Beautiful Beardie!! I am interested in your plants and furniture, can you take a picture of that and post it? Looks like a lot of fun for a beardie to climb on.
