Why has your male bearded dragon got a black beard?

Answer 1

Sometimes they turn black because it is mating season, usually following some head bobbing and other strange behaviours.

Other times it's because their angry or scared

They can also turn black when sick or too hot

You really just have to look at their other behaviours to tell which one it is

Answer 2

Bearded Dragons' necks can actually turn black due to being mad, stressed, or even in breeding season. This can be completely normal.

It can, however, be a sign that something may be wrong with him. Just make sure, the temps are good, it has a good UVB light (you have to get a new one every 6 months), he is eating well, normally active. If everything else seems okay, then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Answer 3

Your bearded dragon may feel threatened or stressed either by another bearded dragon, you or even the coulor black can make them turn black. Or, this may be quite natural, as your bearded dragon may be male. But if you feel that it is more severe, then it may be black fungus or another illness. If so, go down to your local vets.

Answer 4

My beardie's tail tip turned black a while ago. This was because she was suffering gain green (sorry i dont know if that is spelled right) and it had died. The tissue, skin, muscle, bone everything. Take your beardie to the vet right away and have him check this because this could be life threatening to your bearded dragon.
