Different kinds of Beardies.

So, I have had Cori for about nine months and thought he was just a regular beardie. I ran into a breeder at a pet store yesterday and found out that he is a pastel. So, my question is... what is the difference between all the beardie types? Smoothies, hypos, pastels, german giants, ect. Thanks!

well i am not too good on this stuff

but hypos and pastels(although i dont think that is the actual term most people use) are just colors

the GG are generally bigger than normal beardies and and are different that way

the silkies have no scales at all and look like a burn patient to me

and the leatherbacks are just lacking the scales and stuff

someone who understands a little more can explain it better lol

but i figured i would give you the gist of it

They are all different morphs that are dictated by genetics, pretty cool stuff. A great site for learning about all of them and seeing great examples of them is http://www.dachiu.com
