What color morph is Perseus?

[NikOverton]

Hey I was wondering if anyone could identify the color morph Perseus is? I know he was sold to me as a hypo (all 20 nails clear) but he has a nice yellow and orangd color with blue/lavender bars on his sides. Does anyone know this color morph?

Hello Beautiful beardie. All clear nails means a hypo. She looks like a citrus sunburst maybe also a trans

 

[NikOverton]

Thank you for your input

I don't think she looks translucent at all. I think she's a "citrus tiger" or a "sandfire red".

In my opinion, she's orange.

 

[NikOverton]

he doesnt have red on him at all anywhere and he has more yellow than orange, the only orange is down his spin, the outer spikes on his side, and 2 lines on his head, the rest of his body is yellow, with the blue/lavender bars. I was told his dad was a leucistic and his mother was some type of citrus, so what does that make him? Also one of his parents is a leather and sister is a leatherback, so does that make him het leather? sorry for all the questions this is my first beardie, also making sure i didnt get ripped off lol

Well the color Orange is actually in the Red Catorgory for some weird reason, believe it or not, its weird. Like my dragon I just got today is Cawley, Red, Belgium, Sandfire. Doesnt mean those colors will all show, but its what he is. But yea its deff a Hypo Morph with the nails. & morph isnt colors at all. Its Trans, Tiger, Leather/Silkback, Dunner etc. So your just looking for the color of your dragon.
But I would say it was a Sunburst or some type of Orange maybe just regular orange. It does have a nice pattern which is pretty close to a Tiger, but I wouldn't say its a tiger, it would have to be more defined with the "Tiger Markings" I think.
So I think you have a Hypo Orange or Hypo Sunburst. Both are nice beardys

Yeah, there's no actual leucistic beardies out yet, but some breeders use leucistic and hypo interchangeably, so he's a hypo.

And yeah, "sandfire red" is actually a kind of orange color with visible striping and stuff. Most of the color names are just marketing junk, when it comes down to it it's pretty much yellow, red, orange, white (and paradox purples). So, your beardie is pretty much orange-y.

 

[NikOverton]

Thanks guys for all the clarification. So he's basically an orange hypo with light tiger markings? I paid 150 for him is that reasonable? I can't wait to see what he looks like as an adult!

 

[NikOverton]

Ok so the breeder finally got back to me and said No hes het leather and a full hypo red citrus snow pastel. Does that sound about right?

Totally agree! Most people just don't understand that concept.

Unless you breeder told you it was a Tiger then its prob not one. Lots of beardys look like Tigers but arent actually one. & yea 150$ is good. Prices vary so much depends who you go to.
I just got my Baby 5weeks old male today who was labled as
Colors- Belgium,Crawley, Blood, Sandfire. & it has very very clear blue between his patterns which is AMAZING! Dachiu always seems have nice blues on there dragons.
Morphs- Hypo / Het Trans / Leatherback
I paid 125$ before shipping.

I can't really tell from his back. Is it smooth or kind of spiky? If he's smooth, he's leather. He's definitely hypo. The rest of it is marketing junk, snow is just a term for very white bearded dragons (which he definitely is not), and pastel doesn't really mean much, just light-colored, which is up to you to decide whether or not he is.

 

[NikOverton]

Thanks everyone and especially kankri, you seem to be very knowledgeable on this subject. I can definitely see how colors can just be an marketing scam. From now on He'll just be my little rainbow beardie! This is my first beardie and definitely won't be my last!

Dayum Your dragon sure kinda resembles mine but his colors are way way brighter than mine because his an hypo and mine is just red orangey haha but no im pretty sure your dragon is not a leather back it has spikes on the back but if you google up baby leather bearded dragon you should see the difference but darn your dragon looks awesome
