First of all

You can't compare you babies, with pics from the internet, because then your only looking at outside.

You still don't know what line, color, or genetic traits they have.



Second thing is that leucistic beardies haven't been proven yet.

The ones that you see in the market don't have the fenotype to match leucism.

They don't have black eyes, there is still a small amount of collorpigment present (wich leucistics shouldn't be able to produce at all), some don't even have clear nails!

They are hypomelanistics with probably another sort of genetic trait, but this doesn't makethem leucistic.



So if you've bought a so called leucistic and have babies from it and name them leucistic x ....is one thing, but to compare them with a pic off the internet is and then say they probably are leucistic x hypopastel is really not the correct way to determin what the babies are.



If you have the parents, then you will probably know where they came from and what line they came from, considering that they are linebred.

That is pretty much all you need to know, if you don't know this then there is no way you can put names as leucistic or hypored on the babies.

If they are hypomelanistic, just name them hypomelnistic.
