Hello,

Can you post a picture of him? Could he be getting ready to shed soon? Their skin become discolored prior to shedding.

Gorgeous beardie and congratulations on your new camera. It looks to me that the top of his head to the middle of his back is in a shed, also the tip of his tail is shedding.

Hello,

It looks to be his natural pigmentation that is beginning to come out. As they get older, alot of times their coloring can change.
He is a little cutie pie, too.

I understand why you are freaking out. It's easy to do. We did it when we first got Zoom Zoom and she wasn't eating or growing as fast as I thought she should.
I agree with Tracie, tho. The yellow color on your beardie's legs looks like his normal new skin color. I think you were worried about yellow fungus, that looks very different than the legs are and, if I remember reading correctly, the yellow fungus usually starts in the vent or mouth area and is mostly caused by the drugs they need for whatever illness they have at the time.
