Extremely pale...not sure if this is safe

Hey guys! Some of you might be familiar with my beardie, Draco. He has been doing fine (though he has been more sleepy..Maybe he just wants an excuse to snuggle? I don't know). I am a bit worried about the fact that he is extremely pale compared to how dark he was a couple weeks ago. He just shed last week, and he went back to dark, and he is now really pale. He tends to get pale when he sheds, but the last time he shed, it was a full-body shed.... Help please! Here is a picture of how pale he is:

He looks alright. If he is alert and behaving as asual I would not worry.

One of my dragons is very pale (moreso than this pic) but darkens up when basking.

Ok thank you! I might just be an extremely worrisome mother and all but he does get really cold really easily too. Could that be caused by being pale?

To be fair beardies can feel cool to the touch after a little while outside of the viv. They should be warm otherwise though.

They darken their bodies and flatten themselves (pancake style) when they want to warm up quickly during basking.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
