I'm new to beardies. I'm interested in purchasing some but don't know where to start. I'm not going to a pet store. Any one know of a good site to research morphs and see what I like as well as what fits in my budget. Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for breeders and information, I'd check out http://www.beardeddragon.org/ . They've been very helpful with my new dragon. As for morphs, I don't know of many morph galleries out there, like there are for ball pythons and leopard geckos. The basic three non-color morphs are regular, leatherback (the lizard does not grow as many bumpy scales on his back), and silkback (the lizard doesn't grow scales at all). There are two different leatherback types (Italian and American) and the difference between the two is that the Italian version is a dominant gene while the American version is a recessive gene.
As for coloration, there are tons of options out there and you'll have to look at different colored dragons to decide which you prefer.

Best place to learn about dragons is to read the old posts in this forum, check out the breeder sites (the forum sponsors are a good start), classified area as well and just simply googling bearded dragons and checking out all the various breeder sites you find.
There are also several good books available on bearded dragon care, with most of the more general dragon morphs too. The Bearded Dragon Manual is one.

I agree the beardeddragons.org site is good. They have great boards and a ton of info. another great way to research Dragons is youtube! Seriously I am still only a few months into being into dragons but I found a lot of great vids on what to and what NOT to do. Hope this helps.

Youtube does have alot of videos and most of those I have seen, are definitely 'don't do' category. I would stick with forums and websites. There are alot of idiots who post stupid things on youtube, not many actually have factual and educational videos. So take the video's on youtube with a grain of salt.
