Hello I'm a Newbie

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and just recently purhcased my first reptile, a Chinese water dragon. I found this site and hopefully I can find information about my Chinese Water Dragon. He is about 13 inches long and I think he is about 3 years old. We bought a 250 gallon tank that is 6 foot long he was in a 20 gallon tank, we are trying to get everything that he needs, lights, heat substrate etc. This is all new to me so if anyone wants to give me some tips that would be great. His color is brown is this because of shedding or stress?
