Ill try to get a better camera ASAP

I am leaning towards male but it is too hard to tell in the pictures because I'm not sure if I'm seeing male parts or camera blur. Hmm....

Even though it's blurry, I agree with Zandi, looks like a male....and he's a pretty leatherback.

Yep, thought it was a male too.. and also was leaning towards leatherback, but thought it might just be me. I bought him from LLLReptile under the Hypo Citrus tag. It would be interesting to know more about the parents..

I couldn't tell he's a hypo from the pics, that would mean he has clear nails with no black line through them. Can you get a clear picture of him from above, showing his back ? He looks like a leatherback, too but maybe it just looks that way because of the blurriness.

Yeah, I might as well just wait till I get a hold of an actually decent camera so I can show you a good pic, making it much easier to ID.

- Body/back shot

- Nail shot

(EDIT Also, I have a question..... how dramatically do the colors change from new-born to sub-adult? Just wondering, as right now, he doesn't look like a lot of the Citrus Bearded Dragons I have seen.

A much closer pic would have confirmed if it's a leatherback, but from what I can see it is, and the nails do look clear. As for color, it can change quite a bit [ so can the pattern ] but yours looks like it will be an orange or orangey/brown adult.

Ok, I'll get that ASAP and edit this post to contain it. As for his colors, think it will be something like this?

He/she may end up most like the middle dragon color-wise, but with smooth scales of a leatherback and probably not such prominent tiger [ sidebars] patterning....that's an educated guess. By the way, is your baby eating well ? He looks a bit thin, but I realize it's still pretty new. Be sure to offer plenty of appropriate sized bugs 2-3X a day, and give a bath every other day and also offer water with a needleless syringe , eyedropper or gentle stream on his snout to get him to drink. Just don't get a lot of water in the tank.

He is eating fairly well. A day after I got him he hate amazingly, around 5 crickets. Now, I feed him around 50 extra small Phoenix Worms daily. Looks like I may need to up the anti. I do have problems feeding him veggies though. He literally won't eat them. I always offer them to him before his protein so he doesn't get spoiled on his insects, but it isn't really working.

Anyway, better pic of the nails:

Better pic of the back:

Well he's definitely a hypo leatherback. Time will tell what his adult coloring will be. You will thoroughly enjoy watching the transformation.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

By the way, someone raised the question as to if I may have received the wrong kind of bearded dragon, leatherback instead of hypo.. is that even a remote possibility?

 

[AHBD]

If he has all clear nails then he's a hypo. The pic of his foot looks like all clear nails. So he is a hypo and a leatherback all rolled in to one.
