yup thats what i meant,it is also called the third eyelid, it is a transparent inner eyelid in birds, reptiles, and some mammals that closes to protect and moisten the eye.

Ok, explain the eye thing. I thought maybe he was blind. I just know he looks really good.

She just took that pic at the right time to catch the membrane covering the eye. Sometimes if you watch the beardies close a whitish clear membrane blinks in the eye. I think it's used to clean the eye ball.

Oh my gosh. He really looks good. Blind in one eye? right or wrong? I can remember you posting but can't remember the details. Its an age thing.
Take care,
Karen

Don't know what cross he is, but he does have some nice orange down his back. Pretty descent dragon for a pet store dragon. Looks like he might lighten a bit as he gets older too, atleast my Amber did. She was a pet store beardie, but don't think mine is anything other then a so called Normal. Whatever you call it it's beautiful.
