Hello! I just signed up to this forum and I had a question. I rescued a 2 year old dragon ~1 year ago who I named Rex. Rex is a little on the shorter side at 17 inches. Rex can also be feisty sometimes and loves to run and head bob. Today, Rex was doing his usual running on the floor and head bobbing and when I picked up Rex to put him back into his enclosure for dinner, he opened his mouth in an angry way. I saw that his mouth was pretty yellow. I learned a while ago that central bearded dragons had normal pink mouths and that eastern dragons had yellow mouths. I thought that Rex was just a normal central bearded dragon, but maybe he could be an eastern dragon (barbata)? I was just wondering if anyone else knew. Thanks!
I put a few pictures in here. One of me trying to open Rex’s mouth for a picture and a few others are picture of Rex himself. Rex is usually dark but will sometimes get super light when he is angry or sleeping.

It's not uncommon for some beardies to have that color in their mouths. I must say that Rex looks quite chill in that last pic though, so he might be upset if he knew that you claimed him to be feisty !
