    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

i bought 3 bearded dragons babies ( they are 3 month old and are the "regular" type).
fist 2 were dark and one looked a little on the orange side, the next day they were all dark, then the one that was "orange looks dark and another changes to an orange color....
i know they have different colors/types of dragons and that they will start showing more color as they get older...but i thought the regular stays the same.
or does the heatlamps have anything to do with it?
since it is really hot right now in cali i do not have the heatlamp on, but i do have a repta-sun sun-glo during the day for uv rays on and at night i turn the blue/black repta-sun on.
but i notice the change usually when i take them out and hold them in the regular light.
they also like to hang around in their water dish/pool.
any ideas about a reason for the color changing?
thanks

Color Changes.

Natural sunlight will definetely FIRE them up. I keep mine outside and notice that they change colors in relation to the temp and Direct sunlight. During mid day when temps are the hottest they tend to be bright. Towards the end of the day in the evening when the sun goes down they get much Darker. Reptiles in general are usually darker when they need to heat themselves up. Darker colors absorb more sunlight and allow them to heat up faster and use the most of whats available to them.
