These are all recessive traits so in order for them to be passed down both parents must either visibly display the gene or be a carrier of it. The most popular mutations seen in beardies today include, hypo, trans, zero, witblit and wero. Dunner dragons can also be leatherback as shown in the second pic below. These dragons have vertical striped patterns on their back rather than the normal horizontal stripes. Dunner Bearded DragonsĪ Dunner bearded dragon has more scales than a normal scaled and they are pointed in different directions especially on the tail and stomach. They are named after their leather textured scaling and tend to show slightly brighter coloring than normal scales. Leatherback Bearded DragonsĪ Leatherback bearded dragon has a smooth back with spikes only on their sides and head. This type of scaling is what you will find in the original dragons from Australia, without any mutations. Normal Scale Bearded DragonsĪ “normal” or “regular” scaled bearded dragon is covered in spikes all over its back. All of these scaled mutations are dominant traits, meaning if one parent displays the morph, then half of the offspring will also display that morph. A bearded dragon's natural scaling is referred to as normal or regular scaled. The 3 most common morphs that effect a bearded dragon's scales are leatherback, dunner, and silkback. These stripes are always a different color from there regular pattern which also produce a single stripe going down there spine. Bearded Dragon Genetic StripesĪ Bearded Dragon with Genetic Stripes has two unbroken vertical stripes going down its back. Blue bars are a secondary color bred through generations of bearded dragons displaying this sort of pattern. They can be seen in horizontal striped patterns or vertical bars on dunner beardies. Bearded Dragon Blue BarsĪ newly common pattern found on bearded dragons called Blue Bars appear bright blue or dark blue on trans beardies. We are focused on producing some of the healthiest red bearded dragons the world has yet to see. You will see some dragon's sold as reds looking more orange colored which is due to how new the color is and the importance of out breeding to keep the genetics strong. The second most common color in bearded dragons is red. Trans citrus dragons tend to be a deeper yellow tone while regular hypo or non hypo appear more lighter yellow. You may see some citrus that vary from brownish/beige all the way up to a bright lemon yellow color. ![]() The most common and oldest bred bearded dragon color is some variation of yellow. Their color is not a mutation, its simply a set of visual traits passed down through generations of pairing like colored dragons. Beardies also have unique back patterns consisting of two vertical stripes down their spine and horizontal stripes knows as bars. The original bearded dragon’s from Australia are different shades of brown. These bright new colors come from decades of selective breeding all over the world. Although there are also less common colors including orange and white, we focus solely on producing vibrant citrus and red bearded dragons. The most common base colors in captive breeding are Red and Yellow (aka Citrus).
