Black bearding while in brumation

[Agmarshall85]

Is it normal for my beardie to be black bearding and showing black stress marks during bumation?
He has been a little darker than usual but nothing too alarming and has been in bumation since early November. I took him in for a checkup right before he started bumation and he got a clean bill of health. But right now he is awake and super dark???? Not sure why.

Is he becoming active now ? Has he come out and is his beard still black ?

He got a bath about 3 days ago, I typically take him out about every other week to bathe him to make sure he stays hydrated. Every other time he basks for a few hours then straight back to his cave, but this time he has stayed out for three days, he isn't active per say he is just laying on top of his cave and sleeping instead of inside it and he still isn't eating, but he is black bearding and has dark spots down his sides and on his belly.

Is there a possibility that he aspirated some water and is not feeling well ? If he's just laying around lethargic with a black beard there may be something causing discomfort + distress. Can you post pics of him ? Hopefully it's just an upset tummy or something not serious.

Having a hard time figuring out how to load the pics but he is moving around more today and has eaten about 10 dubia roaches today, his color seems to be returning to normal I will post again if he declines again. I don't think he aspirated any water we only put enough water in there to cover his vent and he didn't lower his head to drink.
