Heres a pic of my bearded dragon. i think hes just a normal but my friend insists he's a luesitic. what do u guys think. thanks

I think it's a leucistic, just from what I saw... Well maybe not fully, because of the orange eyes. Here's a picture of a leucistic:

hmm, I'm not good at telling the morphs apart...at all. I can say though, that he just looks like an exagerated version of my normal bearded dragon. Meaning, my bearded dragon seems to have the same colors, just not as bright and vibrant.

I'm not sure if it's leutistic or not. Like I said, I'm not really a morphs guy, I like reptiles because of how they act and live, and how they interact with us. All I can tell you is that is a great looking animal.

I highly doubt it is luecistic. It is just a washed out normal. I have one that looks very similar. It is a normal, maybe call it a snow. but i doubt that to.

It looks like a normal...and Ive said it before THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LEUCISTIC dragon. The confusion seems to be becoming more widespread. The animals that are being called leucistic are colored white, they are not simply just lacking the other colors. There is a difference! Its just like hypomelanistic, just because an animal is light does not mean its hypomelanistic.

Ok ok paul there is no leucistic dragon. what I was refering is it is not a dragon that is rfered to as leucistic. I know it isn't really leucistic. and I wouldn't call it a snow either but if it had to be called something snow would be a better choice as it isn't supposed to breed as a reccesive.

LOL. Derek, that was not directed toward you. Just trying to set the record straight for those who don't know.

Ok cool, you know my views on the whole morph market in bearded dragons. Your transluscents are cool and the recesive form of hypos are cool.

Yeah, sorry man. Your post was the last one I opened and I got a little ahead of myself and replied to yours instead of the orinal post.

that Paul would say something! It's cool to have been here long enough to predict some of the regular's behavior. (Kinda like vitamin D3 toxicity with me, grimdog, and azteclizard ) I don't feel like such a newbie anymore.
