Will need more info about the new cage. What sort of substrate is in it (what color). Are there any live or artificial plants? Or anything else in his cage that is green or greenish in color? As this color is onlyon the dragon's legs, it is possible he is just picking up the dyes used while running around. Dragons do not readily show green as their coloration. I don't think they even have the pigment that would cause green color, or extremely little of it.
Also, if you feed colored bearded dragon pellets, the dyes in these can stain the dragon's skin.
