My beardie is sitting up under his heat lamp and his color turned dark gray. (I would post a picture but he stopped doing it). He does it frequently. He’s in normal basking position, sitting on his belly, but his front legs aren’t bent, they are outstretched.
What does this mean?

From your description, that sounds like normal basking behavior! Dragons can make themselves darker to absorb more heat, similar to a solar panel.

Sitting on his belly with his legs stretched out sounds like he is very comfortable. It would be a concern if they were doing the opposite, such as laying down and hiding all day.

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. 😴
