![]() Hypo Het Trans - Bearded dragons that show the hypomelanism trait, yet carry (and don't display) the translucent traits. Their offspring may or may not show these traits, depending on the traits carried by the other bearded dragon which was used to mate. When they produce offspring, some of the offspring may show the translucent trait, while others may not (this depends on the traits of the other bearded dragon which was mated).ĭouble Het - Bearded dragons that carry both the hypomelanism and translucent traits, yet do not display them visually. Het Trans - Bearded dragons that carry the translucent trait, yet do not display it visually. If a het hypo produces offspring, some of the offspring may show the hypomelanism trait while others don't (this is largely dependant on the traits of bearded dragon which it was bred with). Het Hypo - Bearded dragons that carry the hypomelanism trait, yet do not display it visually. Hypo Trans - Bearded dragons that lack dark colors and have slightly transparent/translucent skin. Generally trans bearded dragons have solid black eyes. Trans - Bearded dragon offspring from breeding two bearded dragons with translucent traits which makes their skin appear to be slightly translucent/see-through. Generally the offspring are lighter in color and have a sigificant reduction of dark colors in the skin, eyes, and nails. Hypo - Bearded dragon offspring from breeding two bearded dragons with hypomelanism traits. Normal - Bearded dragon offspring from breeding two bearded dragons with different traits. This section will go over everything you need to know about these bearded dragons. Oftentimes bearded dragon breeders will use certain words to describe the beardies they are selling that many people may not understand. This is done by carefully breading two or more bearded dragons together with specific traits to produce bearded dragon offspring with desired characteristics. Despite their unusual appearance and bright colors, the practice of breeding for silkbacks is highly frowned upon, as these dragons often present with serious genetic defects and general health issues, so it is considered to be unfair to attempt to produce silkbacks.Īs mentioned above, bearded dragons come in a range of sizes and colors. Silkbacks tend to present with very vibrant, unique colors. ![]() It is not recommended to breed silkbacks for one due to their fragile nature, the act alone can result in serious injury to the dragon, but also the gene can produce some serious ongoing health issues related to their genetics. Due to these issues, general care needs to be taken when looking after a silkback, and they need less intense forms of light and heat, they also need to have specific skin maintenance using a moisturizing agent of some kind to help with their shedding. Silkbacks also seems to always be in a constant state of shed and can have quite serious problems when it comes to having stuck shed issues. Scales are usually used to protect the dragon, so being a silkback that has no scales makes this morph more sensitive to heat and ultraviolet light, as well as their skin being more delicate and susceptible to cuts, bites, and scrapes. This results in a beardie with no scales at all but skin, no spikes of any kind, and a unique look compared to any of the other types of dragon. This gene occurs when two leatherbacks have been bred together. SILKBACKS - Silkback morph dragons, also known as silkie or scaleless is a variation of the leatherback. Since colors are subjective, these names can change, they are also sometimes applied by sellers of bearded dragons in an attempt to promote the sales of their dragons. Morphs are not determined by the color of the dragon, for example, "sandfire red" or "citrus" are simply color schemes that have been given names and are not referring to the morph of the dragon. ![]() Each morph has its own unique characteristics that can be on a dragon of any color.Įven though morph can determine the appearance and, in some cases, has an effect on the color, people confuse morph and color. Some examples like Leatherbacks have less spikes than a Classic, and Silkbacks have none, Hypo has a pastel pigmentation to their skin with more clear nails, and a Translucent can look almost opaque at times especially in their first year, they also tend to have incredibly dark brown eyes that make them look solid black. ![]() ![]() The dragon's morph can affect their color, but Morph mainly has to do with their body types and in some cases pattern. The known dragon morphs are Normal, Leatherback, Translucent(trans), Hypomelanistic(hypo), Dunner, German Giant, Silkback, Witblits, Zero, Wero and Paradox. There are set discovered morphs for bearded dragons and none of them are named for color. ![]()
