She is about 3 yrs old and in the last week her feet and tail have been changing to a darker brown. It doesn't change throughout the day or get lighter. She is eating, active, the temp is right in the cage and nothing has been changed in the cage for her to be stressed.
Why is my bearded dragon changing colour?
My daughter and I adopted a bearded dragon 4 years ago and the same thing happens from time to time. It is especially common at this time of the year..even though the temps in the tank appear to be the same, chances are the temps in your house are getting cooler. They can feel that slight temperature drop and they become darker to absorb more heat from their heat source (heat pad, lights, etc..). I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts to spread throughout her body, then I would contact a vet, but for right now, chances are she is just sensing the change of seasons.

she's probably just shedding her skin, all reptiles do this, and some crustaceans, i didn't know what'd happened when a second crayfish appeared in my tank!
lol
hope this helped.
also, just wanted to add, the reason why you mightn't find her other skin if that is the case...she probably would have eaten it.
