What colors will they be?

[Andry]

Any experienced people know what colors these dragons will be when they grow up?

Beardie #1 - Translucent, het for hypo:
He has green and orange on him. The green sometimes gets light green. Will that all turn yellow? The breeder who sold him to me said the green will turn lime green. I think that means almost yellow.

Beardie #2 - Labeled as Caliente Red. He looks really orange:

Any pictures of dragons you think they will look like when they get older would be awesome.

they will likely both have orange tones to them as they get older. The trans will more than likely be a far softer shade though.

Question? Over on mybeardie.com you said these guys aren't housed together but that is a different photo of them together than the one we saw over there. You do know its not a good idea right, considering they are both male.

Yes, they were together the day I got them, that night and until the next day in the afternoon. The way I am with the camera, I took lots of photos during that time. I also noticed they were not doing well together. So, I separated them. They are doing well now in their own tanks. Here is the setup I have for them which is temporary.

I've seen some that have pastel colors on them, is that how my trans will look?

you know that UV light really isnt doing either of them any good right? most of your light is escaping upwards and the dragon on the left is getting almost none of the UV at all due to his distance from it. You need to have a light for each setup.

I'm in the process of finishing up one custom viv and so the second light is getting installed there. I didn't know how to place this one light so they would both benefit from it temporarily.

Your trans probably won't get pastely colors, His colors are already pretty bright. He will most likely be various shades of orange and yellow.

I have a similar question. I am a new Beardie parent. I have had my baby for a month now. Not sure of the sex yet. He/she has shed twice in a month. I am so unsure of what color it will be. One leg has a bit of orange along with the tail. The rest of it is grey. How will I know what color it will be and when should I be able to tell the sex. My daughter got one the same day and is a bit larger and the colors are more defined and bright where mine is "dull"

Thanks for any help I get!!

Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but I also have a similar inquirey.
I was wondering about the likely colours of some bearded juvie's with colours similar to this one http://www.bunarongaquarium.com.au/uploaded_reptiles/red%20bearded.jpg
I got that picture from the website of the shop I am thinking of purchasing from. Most of the other juvie's have similar colour, some a bit faded.
The shop owner said they were orange phases.
I'd just like to know what colour they are likely to be and how vibrant or natural the colour is expected to turn out as.
Thanks
