Just wandering about a recent post about beta-carotine and it's effects on dragons color? Does anyone know if the feeding of beta carrotine would stop increasing the color of the dragons if it was stopped in the dietary supplement or does the color "enhancement" become permanent.

I was going to start feeding squash and possibly soaking my pellets in carrot juice but don't want to offer babies for sale that have a FAKE color.

Personally I will feed my colored dragons this stuff cause I like the higher color. However, if someone else chooses not to feed them that and they're color would decrese I also don't wnat to be considered unethical or a ripoff artist. I meen the genetics in the dragons I have are there, (chris allen redfalme/sandfire X Zillacross/sandfireyellow/pastel)but if there is a way to get them to look even better is it wrong to do so and offer them for sale? Even if the person knows they have had beta carrotine in their diet? I know that several large breeders at a minimum feed thier crickets carrots to achieve the same effect.

Just wanted to get some feedback on what everyone thought about this.

Thanks,

Robert Wood
