Changing Colors

[onyxbeardie]

What does it mean when a dragon changes Colors. My Chyna is a tan brown with orange streaks and sometimes when i look at her she turns darker in color almost to a gray. Should I be worried about that?

You just got your baby, yes ? Changing colors means many things, such as darker colors absorb more heat, distress (does she still have those stress lines on her tummy ?) Lighter colors means contentment, so I don't think you should worry, unless the color changes is along with changes in behaviour.
Hope this helps out !

Yes she has dark lines on her tummy as w speak i think it is the fact that she keep seeing her reflection in the tank I been fedding her crickets all morning but i dont want to feed her anymore i dont want to over feed her or anything and i read up on obesity for them as well idk I havent picked her up yet cause i am giving her a week to get use to her habitat this week i may see if she will crawl on my hand

You can safely feed her as much as she will eat in 15 minutes, just make sure they are smaller than the distance between her eyes. You may want to just feed a few at a time, until she is done, to make sure she is able to hold and not regurgitate (throw up) any.
As for the reflection, I had an issue with an infant like that, and all I did was paper the inside of the viv, until he was more comfortable with his surroundings, than removed a bit at a time.
Hope this helps out !

Well i dont really want to just put paper around it but with me being an artist I may draw her name or something and surround it around her tank I havent picked her up yet im scared she might bite me. She is different from the last beardie I had. Onyx loved being in my hands.
