Darker skin tone

[Chase123]

Hi,
My beardie chase seeminly has a darker skin tone from just yesterday. Other than giving her a bath, nothing has changed. I've had her now for about a week, and she's about 2 months old. Is this typical or is it a potential health hazard? Thanks

They usually turn darker when they are trying to absorb heat. What are the temps in the tank and what do you take them with?

Thanks for the reply! The basking side is between 99 and 107 and the cool side is about 90. At night the temp gets down to about 75. I have a digital thermometer/hydrometer from walmart on each side of the tank. I appreciate the feedback.

Speedy is always darker in the am when she's first gotten up. She will usually be dark until she's warmed up some. Zoom Zoom gets dark but not quite as dark as Speedy, different genetics, I guess. Maybe that's what's going on.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on daily fluctuations.
