His body color remains bright and beautiful, but his eyes get black from time to time even when i take him outside. Does that means he is getting stressed?

Cinder did that a few times when he was younger...nothing bad ever came of it..it could be his colors are still developing,males are often black when young...

at 9 mo i would think the herptivite can be given twice a month instead of twice a week.

Junk the Power sun and go simple. Use a Reptisun 5.0 and a Zoomed basking lamp.
