Q: Bearded Dragon Morph Help
Posted By:

Tiki108

Ok, I just recently got into bearded dragons, so I haven't really learned too much about the different morphs yet.  Well a friend gave me 19 eggs that he didn't want (his parents breed beardies, but their incubator broke and they haven't been breeding as much lately from what I heard, so they gave me the eggs, he breeds snakes and didn't really want beardies).

Well they hatched last night and he told me they might be "reds" but I really don't know what kind of morph they are or how much they would sell for.

 

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it!

Yeah, I'm not at home now, but when I get home I'll take some better pictures.

hmm, they look awfully normal to me.  I'm certainly not the expert - but  I can tell you that it takes some time to develop full color potential.

however, we had a gravid foster-beardie a few years ago who was a bright citrus yellow. when her clutch hatched, some of the babies had yellowish highlights, but were only pretty normals. the ones that became bright yellow and stayed that way, were pretty yellow from day one.

anyways, I'd guess if they're going to turn out to be reds, there should be some indication now?

Aimee is right; it will be much easier to say when they get older. Most look normal to me. Except one does have a lot of red, and one looks so gray it almost looks anery but I wouldn't bet money on that. They are all very pretty, I think you will just have to wait and see. But the tiny amount of experience I have tells me that morphs in BD's are usually super prominent from a young age. Reds I've seen are like ketchup at that age.

Ok, like I said I don't have much experience with beardies someone literally just gave me these eggs, what age should they be sold at?

I'm not a dragon breeder, but from what I've read elsewhere, I think you want to wait 6-8 weeks before selling them.  And if you're going to ship them, make sure they are at least 6" nose to tail tip.
