Here's what I do, if the dragon is orange, I call it orange, if it is red I call it red, if it is purple with green spots, I call it purple with green spots, no matter what the breeding is. I am tired of all these names out there for the same thing!!

In my opinion, as long as you describe the dragon, you are just fine! For instance, my "gold" dragon is really a red/gold sandfire X normal cross, and I may include that description as well, but to me she is still just Gold!

I had a few clutches of orange sandfire X red/gold sandfire x light normal babies last year, and let me tell you that was a pain in the butt to type in every single add I placed, I should have just said yellow, gold and orange babies for sale!

I have seen sooooo many dragons called blood that have hardly any red in them! To me, blood dragons need to be BLOOD RED.

I think names and descriptions can get very confusing. I like simple!

There is no hard and fast rule on beardie color like corn snakes or ball pythons, unfortunately.

Hope I didnt confuse you more, I get confused with them every day!
