The one on the left looks just like my normal female. The other one looks like my female before she sheds, but yours could be a hypo or something, she is pretty light.

The one on the left looks like my sandfire. I have a regular beardie and a sand fire. My regular is a little bit more on the grey side than the one on the left so to me it looks like a sand fire because it has the same coloring as my little girl. I'm not sure about the one on the right but its got really nice coloring as far as I'm concerned.

Both are Inland Bearded dragons. The one on the left could have some sandfire in it. THe one on the right is in the process of shedding, hence the greyish head and limbs. The band down the back is interested, but probably just an odd shedding along the spine. IT looks much like the left color wise as well. Overall, I would day both are nicely coloured normal dragons.

Beardies come in all different colors and patterns. Normals are browns and dark earth tones, some light patches of white or off white. Some breeders give names to colors and patterns as a marketing tool. A red or orange Beardie may be called a Blood or my line, a Florida Orange. Colors include Snow/Grey, Red/Orange, Translucent, Albino, Citrus, Green, Yellow/Gold and various combinations. Another color morph is called “hypo” short for hypomelanistic. This simply means a reduced amount of melanin or black coloring. Many Beardies that have a light or pastel color will be sold as hypos. Those with almost no color and clear nails are often marketed as Leucistic. This is a misnomer as there have yet to be any true Leucistic Beardies that I am aware of.

Phenotype and genotype is the difference between what a Beardie looks like physically and what they are genetically. Just because a Beardie is a certain color, does not make him a particular morph. If two orange Beardies have a yellow offspring, even though the color is yellow, he is of orange lineage and will probably throw more orange babies than yellow. The yellow is a fluke. This is why people who breed for color charge more. They are selling animals that genetically have better odds of producing a particular color and a better chance that offspring will grow up that way too.
