I told myself that I would just stick to snakes, but I couldn't

So just an update, I'm still not 100% sure if she is a morph or not but from the research I have done I think that she is a "Red Hypo" Beardie

She looks great!

From the pictures, I don't think she is a hypo. They tend to have almost no black pigment but the 100% way is to check the nails, they should be completely clear with no dark inner nail bed.

The red looks really nice and bright on her. I like how it circles around and borders her back. She'll be a real looker as an adult :gj:

Well there goes that idea lol not that it really matters to me since I don't plan to breed her (or even get another at this point)

Thanks

Sometimes with beardies it's hard to tell. Ridiculously bright babies will get darker, and sometimes dark babies will grow up and GLOW! And even "nornmals" look phenomenal in person when healthy! :) My friend has three normals...one is a much more vibrant yellow, though technically normal, the others are more red/orange. And they are all very lovely and fiesty!

And often times, pet shops and careless dealers tend to label the more normal looking beardies as normals when they can turn out to be other things!


This is one of my friend's beardies on another forum--

Thanks, this is my first and I am very happy with the way things are turning out.

Serpant Merchant, Is your beardie eating daily? What time of day do you feed her? Lex only ate three crickets yesterday and none of his veggies. He seems to only be interested in being held. I've offered him crickets several times and have changed the salad every time it starts looking old. The girl at petsmart said they were feeding lettuce and mealworms. Is it possible that he wont eat anything else?
