I just bought a chinese water dragon today, looked very active and healthy in the viv in the store and no wive got it home it is nearly black and its back legs seem to have gone stiff.

Is this normal??? Please help

How warm is the enclosure? Could it have been injured while being transported home? What type of enclosure did you put it in and what is the size and layout?
 
it sounds like it is stressed out. Soak him in slightly warm water overnight (shallow) and keep him in the dark and do not mess with him, see how he does with that. If he is still acting strangely it would most likely be a medical issue and I would either bring him back to the pet store or to a vet.
