I've noticed a few posts asking about Rankins Dragons, so since I was at our breeding center all day today I figured I'd snap some shots of our group of breeders that are being raised up for the upcoming breeding season. They are quite unique looking and distinct from beardies, and hopefully seeing some pics of a few of them can help others be sure that they have beardies. 
A local Rankins breeder described the "color morphs" of Rankins as being much more subtle than beardies, and that there were really only 3 varieties he'd seen. He called them light (light brown/tan), dark (dark brown), and red (much less red than beardies). Up to you to decide what you feel each are - we're just raising them up at this point and have not started pairing them up yet. In a couple generations should be fun to see what comes out!
Subadult Rankins
Subadult in the hand to give you an idea of size - they're dinky!
That same Rankins, but perched on the wood
My personal favorite. I call him Ralph.
In case you wondered, Rankins dragons also give a very distinctive Stink Eye.
So those are Rankins and what they look like at 6 to 9" in length. They start out small, and stay small - still have voracious appetites, and are cared for like beardies, just much smaller and somewhat different looking.
