I remember reading something a while back that the Barbatas have a may have a slightly HOT bite. They sure do look more intimidating than the vitticeps! And Darkenism, I think the GG bloodlines descend from a mix of the Barbatas and the Vitticeps.

The beard on that dragon is huge! off the hook awesome. I want to reproduce that fare.

Those dragons are awesome looking. The beard is almost like a frilly.

A hot bite!? ...wow, i never knew ...wonder how bad... actual venom? or bacterial? I was gonna say we should get some of those bloodlines into america but if they are HOT then I dunno about that.

Great Pics everyone

The GG have their roots from yellow phase central bearded dragons
