orange discoloration

[daveandgreta]

hi my name is dave and i am new to this site. i have a boy dragon, about a year old. i am concerned about some orange discoloration around his eyes and spotted through his beard. could he have spring time allergies, perhaps some kind of infection or is this kind of thing normal? also, he has been frantically trying to get out of his tank on his hind legs clawing at the walls. is it maybe time for a bigger tank? any insight would be greatly appreciated...

Hello & welcome to the forums

About him climbing the walls...It is very possible that since he is around a year old that he could just be hitting puberty & looking to mate. My male beardie is currently doing the same thing! lol! If u don't mind, If u could answer some of the following questions, it may help us determine what the issue could be...if it's not just a puberty thing.

What size enclosure does he have?
What kind of substarte do u use?
What kind of UVB lighting do u provide?
Is the UVB a long tube or a coil? Make & Brand?
What is his basking spot temp?
What does his diet consist of?
What kind os suppliments are u dusting with & how often?

Also, if u could provide a pic of the discoloration that would be great! Many beardies do have color around their eyes & some have color through out their beard as well. Just trying to see if this is normal color or something to be concerned about.
