Types Of Beardies

[ChiTownns]

I am just wondering about the different types of beardies because i am still looking for the perfect one for me.
If anyone can show me pictures of the different types of beardies and their names ill appreciate it. Also i am wondering why do some beardies have a black beardie if anyone can tell me because i really like those. Thanks

Topic moved to General Discussion
When you say types of beardies are you referring to the different pogona species or just the different Morphs(colors) that beardies have?

 

[ChiTownns]

i mean the ones you keep as pets because ill be seeing different colors and different body features some might have a fatter beard than others and some just look plain different and do you know the types with the black beard.

Ok so you mean morphs.First all beardies black beard that is a normal beavior during mating or when they are upset or angry about something.Males are generally the ones with the darker beards but females can black beard as well.Now as for morphs there are way too many to name as most are assigned "tags" by the breeder who breeds them for instance a Sandfire bearded dragon is bred by the Sandfire Ranch,Georgia bearded dragins have morph lines like georgia peach.I have 4 beardies myself as you can see in my sig 2 of which I couldnt tell the morph,the other two are as follows Dragi is a coralxhypopastel and Phoenix is a redflamexredgold.There are also some very special morphs like Translucent Dragons and Leatherbacks or German Giants.As for body size that really isnt specific to a morph but you can get a pretty good idea of what the outcome might be if you can see his/her parents.

ok thanks for the info. So whats unique about the leather backs? Also what about the hypos and what is your personal favorite

 

[vickson420]

Leatherbacks have greatly reduced spikes and are smoother I personally am not a fan I like spikes! Hypos are generally very light and tend to have clear nails or are het for clear nails.Truthfully I dont have a morph preferance.I go buy what I see and like.I also would rather have a healthy large animal above anything else regardless of morph.
