i am wondering if anyone still produces a strictly hypo or snow bearded dragon..every dragon i see is always a mix of genes or colors..i really like the white dragons and they seem hard to find...thanks...

i have a 100% marketed luecistic dragon from Georgia bearded dragons and it is about as white as they come. you should check with them

Snow dragons don't seem to be as popular as more colorful dragons. I have looked for them in the past (though where I live there is a far more limited number of morphs available, though translucent and silk/leather backs are now available..but never been a fan of the translucent myself and though the silkbacks and leathers are interesting, not really interesting in owning one.) but dont' see them for sale at the local reptile shows..or at last not in a 'pure' state. Most are part of the usual mongrel mix that seems more common up here.

Hypos are just dragons with reduced pigmentation (hypo basically means less, opposite of hyper), and for all I know, breeders over the years may have just started calling what would have been termed 'snow' ten years ago, to hypo, as the new 'morph'. Most pictures of white adult dragons I see now tend to be called hypos anyway...though I haven't paid all that much attention to dragon morphs.

Most other reptiles a 'snow' usually means they carry the trait of amelanism (albino) and anerythrism together...lack of both black/brown pigment and reds (and most yellows).

I second that.

See Wendy at Georgia Dragons...

She has very nice snow dragons. They are beautiful, healthy, and vibrant. I would argue she produces some of thee nicest leucistics(snow) dragons around.

She stands behind her dragons and I have had extremely good dragon relations with her.

You might also check with Lynn at Carolina Designer Dragons. Lynn at CDD and Wendy at GBD are both very knowledgable about white dragons.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. We have lots of gorgeous leucistics and snows available for anyone that is interested. Just check out our website at www.georgiabeardeddragons.com or give us a call at (770) 957-8650

leucistic and hypos are pretty much the same thing. theyre clear nailed animals with lack of dark pigment. theses animals are good to cross with colored animals because it will wash out the dark pigment of the offspring (brighter reds, yellows, oranges etc.) also if you cross them with another hypo youll get 100% hypo babies. snows have black nails and theyre pretty much white normals not albino. there have not been true albinos discovered yet. if you surf the web you can find snows and hypos at any reputable breeder. be careful with hypos because some are sold with black nails and only have the visual traits of hypos. true hypo/leucistics should have clear nails along with pastel coloring.
