Beardie Types

Beardies come in  lots  of colors and mutations. Below is a list of common terms  and what they mean.

• Morph - a genetic mutation

• Trans (Translucent) - a morph that effects the opacity of the  scales, resulting in brighter colors. This mutation also results in a black iris, making the eye look solid black. 

• Hypo (Hypo melanistic) - a morph that effects the amount of dark pigment in their coloration, resulting in lighter, brighter colors and clear nails. 

• Witblits - a morph that causes a beardie to be patternless

• Zero - a morph that results in a patternless, colorless beardie

• Leatherback - a morph that  results in a smoother scale surface, with a texture like leather

• Dunner - a morph that alters the  direction scales lay, causing a rougher texture and appearance

• Genetic Stripe - a morph that causes a racing stripe appearance down the spine

• Het (Heterozygous) - indicates that while not expressing that morph, they may carry the gene from their parents and may pass it on to their offspring

• Normal -  wild colored (tan/brown) with no morphs

• Citrus - yellow

• Fire - red or red/orange

• Red Monster - a specific bloodline that created dark red or red/black beardies

• Blue Bars - light blue or blue/gray stripes in their pattern

This list is not exhaustive, but does include all morphs/colors we currently work with, as well as other common morphs.
