A few days ago, my bearded dragon's skin got lighter like it did before he sheds, which I thought was odd because he shedded recently, but I didn't think much of it. But today the color seems to be returning to normal. Other than this, he's perfectly healthy, and I don't have any idea what it is. Does anyone know if I should be worried, or what happened?
if it happens again get a good idea of what areas are lighter colored, ie. just certain spots or entire body. Probably nothing though, just like he said, they do it all the time.
My beardie turns super pale when she's hot, and super dark when she's cold. It's just a way they regulate their internal body temps since they're cold blooded and can't generate their own heat or sweat. You'll usually notice that when they're pale they're also gaping as that's another way they cool off.
