Hello everyone I'm new to the forum and a new beardie parent! I'm a long way from ever breeding my dragon but also curious about the genetics of them. Currently I have a hypo dunner het trans male but was wondering what if I bred him with a non visible het zero. Would the offspring be healthy because I've read that breeding 2 visuals could lead to unhealthy babies. I would appreciate any responses!
Visual x het pairing are not optimal and don't produce the ideal genetic structure for the offspring but can be done, and I've seen quite a few people do it with ok results. But the main thing about it is that a lot of people won't even buy a morph that isn't produced from het x het pairings. A great book to look into regarding genetics is called "genetics for herpers", I recommend reading this 2x before even thinking about breeding
. Although it won't tell you specifically about dragon genetics and breeding, it will give you a very sound understanding of all reptile genetics
