The white nails are also accompanied by lightly colored or grey shoulder pads, a normal dragon will have black shoulder pads. just read this too on tundra dragons. so many different things..
The mystery will be solved. One day. And white nails and grey shoulder pads just mean that that dragon is void of black pigmentation. I believe it is called a hypo.
Oh my! Shoulder pads are just for storing fat is all. Unfortunately not wings or fashion statements, although that was an awesome answer! :wink: I'm pretty sure anyway. I havn't researched it in a while!
I could be wrong though. Maybe they ARE for display XD Or maybe they store water... like camals?
Also! My dragon is a hypo and has blue shoulder pads (common in hypos at times)
Ha ha, I really like the wing remnant thing!!! Gonna tell the grandkids in the morning...lol. In the meantime, will try to find out for real...but I am betting it is some kind of camoflouge
Oh! That is an excellent start kcarello. I also think what BeardieMommy said makes sense. Fat or water storage is great idea. Especially since only Inland Bearded Dragons have these. And water storage makes great sense since inland dragons don't get a chance to drink water as often as coastal dragons. Right? Anyways, I need more clues people! I can piece this mystery together.
P.S. I am really good at that type of stuff. Another reason for forensic entomology. :wink:

Just from what I see on Zoey, hers are almost flat. Do they puff these things out when they blackbeard? Zoey hasn't really done that so I don't know. :?:
