Gail":2obduixu said:He's nicely colored and should be a pretty orange. I've seen some petstore dragons develop very vivid coloration.
As for being hypo, I would need to see a clear, close up picture of his toenails. A hypo will have clear nails, regulars will have a thin line of dark running down the top of the nails.
The dark line can be really hard to see on babies, set him on a piece of white paper and take a good look. Judging by his color, I would say he probably isn't a hypo.

Maybe you can get a little money back if that's the case. The dragon looks healthy so that's good . There's no real way to tell what he'll end up looking like. I raised a lot of babies, some looked very much like that one actually. Some ended up keeping their pattern, some developed more color, others stayed the same. Here are a couple babies from 9-10 years ago. BTW, can you get a closer pic of his back ?

AHBD":150unc8c said:No, that's the pic I asked for, no need to be sorry.
AHBD":1fur9plc said:A low appetite can be attributed to relocation stress so he may pick up after a week or so. Can you post pics of his tank + light placement when you have a chance ? And what is he eating ?
