From almost solid yellow to almost solid orange. The darker one actually has a very yellow base with the intense orange striping. This was taken just after the lights came on so she was still dark. From one extreme to the other and a little in between. Mom was a Sandfire gold and dad was a very nice orange colored dragon. These are all from the same clutch. The yellow one is about twice the weight of the next biggest baby. All females in this photo.

They are looking really nice Mike. Such a wide variety you got from that cross. They are looking good. Good luck with them all.

Not saying in the least your lying but that is really incredible how much bigger the gold one is from the rest...Is that because she dominates or just got the better genes or what????

Actually if I showed you a pic of her with the smallest of the clutch you would say I was lying. More than 4 times the weight difference. At 6 weeks old I had to move her into a bin with babies a month older than her. She is now bigger than all of them too. Her mom comes in at just under 600 grams and I think she might challenge her. Sometimes babies that grow that quickly slow down later and the slow growers end up passing them up. With her though she just keeps growing and growing.

You gotta love those Golds. I have a True Gold male. He has thrown everything you can imagine. He was bred to a snow female earlier this year, and in the clutch there was 1 orange, 3 reds, several snows, and some yellows. When I bred him to a citrus yellow female this past time, you would not think any of the dragons were from the same clutch. When I went to purchase him a couple of years back, I had to be talked into it. I don't personally care for the gold dragons appearance, but what they can produce is amazing. It seems like they are "het for everything." He fathered 7 clutches this year from various females, and none of them looked anything like the others. If anyone has the chance to get a GOLD dragon, jump all over it. I promise you will not be disappointed.
