Hello,
I have recently gotten back into beardies after working with other species for the past few years. I recently hatched out a clutch of beardies with several babies that have very reduced scaling. I tried searching both the forums and the web for info on this mutation, but could not find much.

So please give me your opinions--are these babies something special? And how common of an occurence is this? What are the chances that it is genetic?

here are some comparison pics of a reduced scale baby and a normal clutchmate--
