>>I recently bought this guy and he arrived fine. I know that they are supposed to get used to the new environment and not be feed right away. I tried to feed him greens and crickets and he would just ignore them. Finally on the sixth day he ate one cricket and nothing else. I noticed that his tonque was a bit pale and brown and not the normal pink/red other bearded dragons. Does anyone know why or has seen a sort of discoloration of the tongue. He doesnt eat often, maybe one to three crickets all day, no greens, and maybe a wax worm. He's somewhat skinny and you can see his folds of skin.



but I know folds of skin can be a sign of dehydration.



Sounds like you've got other beardies but I'm not going to assume.



Are the temps high enough? Are you using a digital thermometer?



Is the tank nice and bright?
