What color morph would you say this guy is? He/She is about 4 months old and is coloring up after every shed! He was sold to me as a "bearded dragon baby".

hi i breed chris allen x bloods and ive hatched out similar colored dragons that look a lot like yours..just my two cents..

I have a female who looks very similar to your BD. She was sold to me as a "citrus x blood". So she possibly has one of those traits but I don't think you could be exactly sure unless you get in contact with the breeder that produced your BD.

There are so many morphs of dragons that look so similar you cannot get an acurate morph without knowing the actual genetic background from the breeder, unfortunately.

I have a blood/yellow desertX that looks a lot like that - but there are TONS of morphs that look similar. You have a nice looking dragon with lots of orange/red in him - but the exact morph is not going to be known unless you talk to the breeder.

There is nothing scientific about a morph. So you can call yours anything you want. I took in a rescue and was told he was a Tequila Sunrise. lol.

To be honest, she could be just about any color morph...be easier to say what she is not. Definitely not a translucent, leatherback, silkback, pastel or snow.

Many bearded dragons now are from mixed lines...My dragon which has some similarities is a mix of orange hypo pastel crossed with a snow/super orange German giant blood sandfire. Basically a mongrel crossed with another mongrel.

Only way for you to know the actual genetics is talk to the breeder you bought it from. If you bought it from a pet store, talk to who ever orders the reptile stock. Some stores may buy excess animals from local breeders or have a regular source.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm so glad that he is as colorful as a typical "morph" because I got him for only $30 listed as baby bearded dragon and he has grown up to be such a beautiful dragon! He gets more colorful after each shed its amazing.
