Can anyone give me a rundown on popular bearded dragon genet

[Sj45]

I'm not catching on to any of the genetics, lost in the het hypo, smoothie, translucent, etc. I really don't know any so anything you can provide is great, thanks.

Bearded Dragon 101 please Scott.

Hi there. The morphs are different varieties of beardies. Hypo translucent dragons have clear nails and skin. They are very pretty but normally more expensive. You should go to bloodbankdragons.com if you want to see what they look like. They are so beautiful. I don't know much about the other morphs. Sorry if this doesn't help.

Just keep looking around the forums and don't be afraid to google search.

This site has a nice rundown of the most breed for genetic traits. http://www.mbdragons.eu/en/genetica.html

Some of the more expensive breeds are the ones with the leatherback or silkback traits.

Leatherback is a genetic disorder which makes the scales small and makes them have a 'smooth' appearance.
Silkbacks are the result of two leatherbacks mating to create essentially a super leatherback which we call silk backs because the scales they have arn't visible or they don't have any, they kinda look like a smooth salamander and a bearded dragon mixed together.

Here is a leatherback

And here is a silkback

When the snow beardies were still farily new to the trade I wanted one so badly. One of my friends offered me a fully grown snow female because he was going away for the summer and couldn't keep her but either could I so I had to decline. It makes me sad cuz I still want one really bad :dontknow:

Wow, you're right, silkies are VERY expensive! I love German giants. I also think hypo translucent dragons are so pretty!

 

[Claudiusx]

My favorite probably still is the snow beardies. I want one so bad :laughing6:

Yeah, that's how I feel about the hypo translucents.
