could be many things. Some bearded dragons do lose their color as they grow naturally. Could be lack of color pigments in food (ie carrots, red or yellow flowers etc). Some pellet diets are designed now to include pigments to help reptiles maintain their color. Not sure if this is all hoax or based in fact or a bit of both. A strong UVB light or natural sunlight can also bring colors out in dragons.
