Morphs
Translucent: This morph lacks
white pigments, and has sections of transparent skin where light is able
to pass through; giving a translucent effect. They also lack reflective
cells in their eyes, causing them to appear pure black.
Leatherbacks: Have less
reptilian scales on their back, giving them a smooth, leather-like feel.
Silkbacks: A result of breeding
two leatherbacks, this extremely rare morph has no scales, giving them
smooth and silky skin.
Tiger Morph: Tigers are
Homozygous (dominant gene). One parent must be a Tiger morph in order to
produce Tiger babies. Any bearded dragon clutch with blue side bars will
be deemed a 'visual tiger', but will not reproduce the trait. As babies,
Tigers are a dark, sooty, charcoal colour with black 'zebra-like'
markings. They get lighter with every shed until they reproduce their
parental morph colours with purple/blue side bars. Tiger's can be any
colour morph, as long as one parent is a Tiger morph.
Mark. Leucistic: The phrase
'marketed' was added as a prefix to leucistic, when the breeder wrongly
thought he had successfully created a true leucistic dragon, a true
leucistic (Leucism: inability to produce colour) is yet to actually be
produced. Mark. Leucistic's are in fact very lightly coloured
hypo's
Hypomelanistic (Hypo's): This morph has
reduced black/brown pigmentation, light nails and pale colouration
compared to normal morphs.
Heterozygous (Hypo-Het's):
These dragons carry the hypomelanistic gene, although they are visually
a standard morph, with dark nails and pigmentation, their
scales are lighter than that of a normal beardie. these are still
interesting to breed, when bred with another hypo or hypo-het they
produce a certain amount of hypo babies. The following is a guide of
what you can expect from breeding hypo's/het's:
Hypo x Hypo = 100% Hypo's
Hypo x Hypo-Het = 50% Hypo's, 50%
Het's
Hypo-Het x Hypo-Het = 50% Hypo-Het,
25% Hypo, 25% Normal (Called 66% possible Het-Hypo)
Hypo x Normal = 100% Hypo-Het
Hypo-Het x Normal = 50% Hypo-Het, 50%
Normal (Called 50% possible Het-Hypo)
Witblit = A genetic patternless
recessive trait. The dragon has no pattern on its back.
Axanthic = Black and
white dragon that has no red or yellow pigments. Recessive trait
Piebald = White patches
on a coloured dragons. Unknown genetics
Silverback = Absence of pattern
on the back. Recessive trait
Dalmatia = Small black spots on
the dragons body. Recessive trait
Paradox = Black patches on a
coloured dragon. Usually occurs when breeding with trans and hypo genes.
Dunner = The scales lie in
different directions. Co-dominant trait
Blue eye's morphs = Dragon with
a blue iris.
Patternless = Dragon that is
patternless as a hatchling.
SUNSET RED BLOODLINE
The Sunset Red is our own
bloodline of reds that we started working on in 2008.The colour of
this line is red with a undertone of orange, which at times gives it a
pinkish tinge (similar to the coral line). The line is made up from a
number of different red bloodlines from USA, Ireland, Belgium, Denmark
and Italy; from some of the worlds best breeders and red bloodlines.
The aim from the start was to breed a
red line that's bright and visually stunning with a bloodline that is
not genetically close to any other line so it could be introduced to any
breeding project or bloodlines. We have reached this target now and will
carry on developing this line in years to come introducing the hypo and
trans genes to the line.
