Is my baby a Rankin's?

Hello,

Where are you located, in the US or Australia?
There are no Eastern bearded dragons here in the US though. Rankins are in the US but not all that many.
It is a little early to see if it is Rankins, though, but it has nice markings.

she is so cute. Our Dragon looked like that .

I too bought our first dragon from petsmart and it was the smallest one very dark and very active. but after the first 2 weeks she started to act funny and ended up at the vet for what we thought was dehydration and she ended up dying .turns out she had some parasites. being it was our first and she was so active and eating we did not know until it was too late. but the vet told us sometimes the signs don't show until it is too late.

Now i am not saying that will happen to yours just be careful and watch her. ( the breeder replaced ours and she was teeny tiny when we got her and is now 4m and growing and doing great)

Bought our scaley baby at PetSmart and had the exact thing happen. Full of parasites and low calcium. Went to the vet 2weeks after we brought him home and 2 visits, 2 rounds of meds, syringe feeding for a week and $150 later, we had saved our baby beardie! PetSmart did end up reimbursing us for the entire vet bill, but we were sooooo scared we were going to lose him!

Your little one is very unique with the really dark colors! Black beauty!

I'm in the US. I really don't think she is a central. So far an eastern is the best match. Her body and head shape look almost identical to me. If she is an easter would I get in trouble for owning her? I bought her from petsmart not too long ago. She didn't look like any of the other babies. She loves water, and spends most of her time perched on her cork round about 6 inches of the ground. She is a big time glass dancer, and when she is asleep, she turns almost white. Sorry if i'm repeating myself, i don't have the best memory. And i hope this info helps to figure out what she is.
She also have very dark markings on her belly, lot darker than I've seen before. They look the same as my friend's male when he puffs up for a female. She also she seems to have a very light beard, if one at all.
