Hello everyone, I just rescued a female bearded dragon a few days ago from my cousin. I am new at caring for beardie, so I was perplexed when I saw that the beardie has a dull color and it’s getting darker to the tail. He said that there is nothing to worry about, but I am still concerned. Could you guys take a look and possibly help me to see if there’s anything wrong with my beardie? Thank you so much <3

I am planning to take her to the vet but I could not do it until next week, So maybe there's something I could do as a first aid. Is it Fungus? And why is there black patches around her back?

From the picture you posted, I see no issues. No fungus is visible (fungus is extremely rare).

The tail darkening is extremely common, and is actually a normal behavior just the same as head bobbing, arm waving, and black bearding are.

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?
