Im not sure why my bearded dragon has stress marks still, Im not totally sure of his age, but he eats fine, goes the bathroom fine, basks, etc.
If he had parasites, wouldn't his growth be stunted, and he wouldn't gain any weight?

some random info:
He is in a 40 gallon breeder tank
Slate tile
His basking spot is around 105-108
his cool side is at 80
he has the proper uvb lighting (ZooMed Reptisun 10.0)
He eats collard greens and crickets (alot of crickets lol)
dusted with either rep-cal calcium, calcium with D3, or herpavite
the crickets are gutloaded blah blah

He poops every morning before he eats of course, usually in a bath,

He has shed twice in the month I had him, his tail twice, and the rest of his body once
I read that could be because of mites? But I think its because he has ATLEAST doubled his size in the month I got him. So, the more he grows, the more he sheds, right?

and this is what his stress marks are like

sometimes they are a little darker, but they are never as dark as when I first got him for the 'relocation stress', some times his bearded will be a bit darker than that, and the lines on his belly are more defined, and sometimes he wont have them at all

Could it be that he isn't on an exact light schedule? This timers and I just do NOT work out, hahaha. even the ditigal ones.
The varying time inbetween each day's lights on and off time is no more than an hour, though. Nothing drastic.

Im just worried!

Don't worry about those. "Stress marks" don't always mean stress... They tend to show up when beardies are excited, darkening to soak up heat, and for just no reason at all LOL. Babies almost always have stress marks too.
And it just depends on the beardie. Some will have them all the time even if they are perfectly happy, and others hardly ever get them. Your setup sounds perfect too!

LOL, I'm glad I'm that helpful :p Everyone worries a lot when they get their first beardies... Just take a deep breath, and remember that they are hardier than we give them credit for! :wink:

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. 😔
