Is this a morph?

Today I went to the Southwick Zoo with my boyfriend and they had a bunch of reptiles there. First off, the general husbandry for all of the sucks. They have a 4' tego in a 40 gallon and a full grown blue tongue skink and a 16" female beardie in 20 gallons. The only ones appropriately taken care of were the leopard geckos. Oh, and they didn't know how to sex their beardie so I did it for them - it's a she and the poor thing wanted nothing more than to cuddle with them when they took her out for me to pet her, but they didn't want none of that. Also, when I went to sex her, her entire belly side was poop stained. Anyways (sorry I had to rant a little about their care) the beardie was beautiful and had such an interesting coloring that I was wondering if she was a special morph or not.

That's a normal: The coloring of a bearded dragon really has nothing to do with its morph (Unless it is translucent or hypo [not sure if hypo even exist in BDs]). There are silkback morphs, leatherbacks, etc. Those are true morphs.

Ah, all right. Was just curious because I hadn't seen one of that coloring before.

It's a very nice looking color pattern for sure

It's too bad they didn't let me hold her, I don't think they would have gotten her back until the shaped up on their care a little. She was such a sweet heart and it pained me to see her try to snuggle with the employees and be told no because he nails were too sharp.... Her nails were really long as well and curled a bit...

OMG how sad! She is absolutely beautiful!!!! It just breaks my heart when people dont take care of animals. it doesnt matter what kind of animals they are they deserve to be taken care of properly!!!! 1 of my coworkers just got a baby dragon and i am really worried bout it... Her and her husband smoke cigs and pot in the house(pot is legal here ugh) and I know its not going to stop them bc they have a tiny dragon in their house.. IDK what they r feeding it(Although she asked me if she could buy some crickets off me.. but i told her the cricks i have would be too big for a baby that Boba Fett is 14 inches long as opposed to hers that prob is about 8) or if it has proper lights.. i wanna go over there so bad n see it but i hate going in there house due to the high levels of smoke and i have scar tissue on my lungs. Anyways sorry for this rant... grrrrrrrrr bad people need to take care of their pets!!!

Looks like a normal. Morphs would be either hypo or trans in regards to color and silkback or leatherback in regards to skin texture. Anything else is just a fancy name for a color that people give the dragons to either up the selling price or to use as a way to distinguish their breeds.

hypo exists in beardies, my baby boy Thanatos is a hypo citrus

I really like that color pattern though. And she sounds like a sweetheart.
