The other day I was at a local pet store looking around while waiting for assistance. I saw a 10 gallon tank with 5 normal bearded dragons so I thought. One baby dragon stood out from the rest. He was super light, almost white in color with a faded pattern. No, he/she was not an albino but really stood out from the rest. Sometimes people breed them and need to get rid of them so they get what they can by selling to pet shops. And don't really look close to their litter of babies. I guess my question to the experts of dragons is, would you buy this dragon for $59.99? And could it be a morph?
Thanks in advance,
Derek Yagi

If not then I wouldn't buy anything from them. If they do take good care of their animals then I have no idea what you should do but someone else here will probably have some good advice.

Just wondering but could it be a remainder that didnt sell from a previous unrelated clutch that they had? (they bought more so they wouldnt run out) That could explain why it looks different than all the others. It could also maybe have a health related problem causing the difference in appearance. I'm not an expert, but maybe something to think about.
