yea i was holding him near my male Sydneys tank and he puffed up and started hissing! i thought it was funny that he was that jelous.
Any ideas on names? im not sure what to name him :roll:

Tastiger...can you do me a favor and explain what a leatherback is? I mean, what makes the little one different from Fred? I read a lot of people talking about them, but im lost as to what they are.

He is AWESOME by the way! Love his colors!

 

[TASTIGER]

they have reduced scales so their back is smooth

 

[Fredsdad]

is that the only thing that makes them more desirable?

 

[TASTIGER]

this is what i found

The Leatherback morph in bearded dragons is caused by a single copy of a mutated gene, which appears to interfere with scale formation during embryonic development. Dragons showing this trait have scales reduced in size, giving them a much smoother, less spiky appearance. The smaller scales can also lead to improvements in colour and pattern.

Casanova. Cause he's such a little stud. Hahah.

Now, Im really hoping to get one of his little brothers or sisters from the next clutch.

 

[TASTIGER]

i kind of like that name :lol: my mom said thats a big name for a little guy

 

[Jess]

I second Casanova! It makes my think of the Carrie Underwood song, LOL.

 

[TASTIGER]

what about Ares?

 

[MeganKacey]

Lol. Thats true, but he won't be little for long. :mrgreen:

Ares is a great name too!
