The dark spots along the underside of the dragons are not just stress indicators. She may not be getting enough heat so remains dark to absorb more heat. check basking temps to make sure they are within the 105-115F range for young dragons. Also, make sure the air temp is in the mid 80F as well.
It can also take as long as two or three weeks for some dragons to completely adjust to their new environment. THough they may feel secure enough to eat regularly, they may feel stressed anyway.
