Why do bearded dragon go orange?

Bearded dragons can turn orange due to a variety of factors, including their mood, health, and environmental conditions. When they are excited, basking in warmth, or feeling threatened, their skin may change color as part of their natural behavior. Additionally, changes in their diet, particularly if they consume more carotenoid-rich foods, can enhance their coloration. This color change is a normal part of their physiology and can vary among individuals.
