I'm not talking about pumping beta carrotine in at extreme levels. But I know that some people feed their crickets carrots and thought that carrot juice soaking for the pellets would be about the same. And a once or twice a week helping of squash as well.

I don't think that if you feed beta carrotine it will "produce" color in beardies only enhance what is there and make it more vibrant. Therefore the color would pass on. But I have no studies to backk that up. Just what I've percieved from listening to people and how they explained it to me.

I'm not talking about getting a normal dragon and pumping it full and selling it for a 300 dollar high orange hatchling. Merely asking if anyone has any info on the effects of the way it colors the dragons up. If it's permanent or if the color recedes in them after the supplimentation is stopped and if it's anyone feels it's ethical to do this.

I did notice after some discussion in the forum on the way pictures are taken alot of people started posting... No soaking, no special lighting, even though some were doing exactly that for awhile. Now it's no beta carrotine supplementing!!? LOL Just a thought.

Doesn't seem to be many posting on this. Must be a grey area.

Thanks for your input!

Robert
