Is this black bearding behavior ok?

Hello, sometimes my bearded dragon will be basking. She will jump off. Then, her beard will get darker. Not 100% dark. But, darker. She will stay standing and black beard for a little while. Sometimes the black beard goes away quickly like after 10 minutes. Sometimes she will go back on the basking and it will still be there. She normally goes back to the basking after a short while as well. It doesn’t last very long. Would this be anything to be concerned about?

That is not black bearding -- shes fine --- if her beard was charcoal black there would be cause for concern

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
