Im not too sure but pics would help people massively. If you can get pictures it would increase the chance of someone identifying your problem.

Perfectly normal, so dont stress.
I suggest you read up alot more on beardies if you didnt know that their beards turn black, especially since your keeping one

one of my males black bearded at 4 mnths!....dont think so for the breeding eh!
shows they are terratorial...& thinking about things
i regard dragons age to a 1/5 of humans..humans average 80yrs...
so at 12mnths...1yr they would average 16yrs of age....typical teenager
dont know if this helps you
