My dragons been doing the same thing. He barley eats anything and hides in a den all day. I felt him and he was very cold. I thought he was to young to brumate but it seems like he is. i got him in August.
Thanks for any help.

Could be possible that he is going into burmation. Even if he isnt if there is a cold front beardies will lay low for a few days till temps rise back up. I have young dragons that want to go into burmation. Its a natural thing. As far as the beard goes thats perfectly normal. For the tail i would double check to see if he has any shed skin stuck on the end. Just to be safe. In general though their whole bodies can change color depending on their state of mind and environmental factors.
peace,
nate
