In this video we explain the different morphs and colors you see in bearded dragons.
Lets start by talking about the three major scaling morphs, normal scale, leatherback and dunners
Normal Scale dragons are what you will find in the wild in their native land of Australia. These dragons have rigid scales all over their back, limbs and tail. They may not be the softest to touch but they do have a really cool look resembling the classic mystical dragon.
Leatherback dragons have a smooth leathery texture to their scales. They are soft to the touch all over their body only having scales on their head and sides of their belly. This morph is very common today and is a codominant trait meaning only one of the parents has to display it for it to be passed down to offspring.
Dunner Dragons differentiate from normal dragons in several ways. The most obvious is their scales facing different directions all over their body. They also have vertical striped patterns running down their back and tail compared to horizontal stripes seen in normal dragons. Dunner’s can also be leatherback in which case you can easily tell the difference by looking at the spikes going in different directions on their stomach and beard.
Now we will talk about the popular colors bearded dragons display.
The most popular color seen in dragons is some variation of Yellow also called Citrus. This was the first color to be bred in captive bearded dragons and sold to the masses a couple decades ago. Today you can find them in a bright lemon tone or a deeper banana yellow in citrus trans dragons.
The second most popular color is Red. This is a slightly newer color in beardies but is quickly gaining popularity. Today you can find these guys with a reddish brown tint to a highly saturated bright red common in red trans dragons.
Another color commonly bred in dragons is Orange. You can find these guys in a light peach tone or brightly saturated almost glowing common in Orange trans dragons. This color is largely the result of pairing Red and Yellow dragons to make different variations of Orange.
Blue Bars are a common color pattern found on many dragons. These are blue or silver horizontal stripes found on a dragons back and sides of the belly. In Dunner dragons the stripes run vertical down their backs. In trans dragons, blue bars normally appear dark purple.
Now lets talk about some of the different visual morphs in beardies.
The most common visual morph in dragon’s today is the Hypo gene, short for hypomelanistic. Hypo Dragons tend to be lighter in color and won’t show any dark colors in their patterns. The easiest way to spot a hypo dragon is to look at their fingernails. Hypo dragons have clear fingernails while normal dragons without the hypo gene have black fingernails. Sometimes major pet stores have them labeled “Fancy Bearded Dragons”.
The second most common visual morph is the Trans gene, short for Translucent. Trans dragons have a gummy looking texture to their scales and tend to hold color very well. Almost all trans dragons have solid black eyes giving them an alien-like appearance. In rare cases they will have normal or partially eclipsed eyes.
The last visual morph we will talk about is the zero morph. These dragons are completely colorless and pattern less. Most zeros look silver or grey while hypo zeros can be paper white. This is one of the newest genes which breeders just started working with and is quickly gaining popularity.
There are a few other bearded dragon morphs and colors but at least we covered the basics. Be sure to check out our site www.7thGalaxyDragons.com to learn more and comment to les us know what your favorite morph is below!
I'm a fan of classic bearded dragons. I love the spikes on them. The red ones that are highly saturated are also beautiful. i am also a fan of the zeros
The normal dragon's spikes do look really cool!

we are just getting started! Thanks for the feedback.
I just subscribed! They are growing fast for just starting and not having a lot of videos. They provide great quality content and will become the Wikipedia and Amazon for bearded dragons on CZcams if they continue. I'm looking for a red bearded dragon breeder.
Wow, only 9 months later and we're at 2,300

Imagine an orange, blue barred bearded dragon. That would be wicked looking!
Larkspur Glory I have a light kinda classic orange and kinda blue but more like a blue black dots on the back 😀
I don't have to imagine, I got one. It is orange dunner with blue bars. He is really stunning! When we got him as a baby there were no blue bars first, but after some time they just appeared. He is full of surprises... the breeder said he will be yellow, for some time it looked like it.... well now I am happy for my orange boy!
I have one that’s really bright orange and has blue bars they are very stunning to look at 😊
I have one like that he’s a saturated orange and he’s a blue bar
I have a orange blue bar! Hes very pretty
you explained it so well not like those weirdos that just talk and don't get to the point
Here in Southern Queensland the majority of Bearded Dragons I see in the wild have this awesome Silver Grey tone to them.
The simplicity and straightforwardness of this video made these concepts very understandable. Kudos and thanks.
Thanks for this video! I’ve been looking for this very thing - just simple to the point. Thanks!
This was extremely helpful and props to all involved making the video 👍👍👍👍
I have a classic citrus morph girl. Love her so much. She's my first dragon. I'll never not have a dragon in my life again. I have dogs and cats too and love them but my Navarra is a special one. We instantly bonded and I knew I needed her. In some ways, like one of my dogs, she's my comfort animal.
I actually have a class pet that is a bearded dragon! His names king and he is actually one of the most fascinating animals (reptiles) I have ever seen! And I actually got inspired by him and right now I'm actually researching about them! :) And hopefully I'll convince my parents ^^
I love the red and orange beardies I’m planing on getting one soon
Awesome video!! Very informative.
I like an informative & to the point video. Thanks for the information. Good Stuff!
Very interesting video!
thanks for explaining the morphs, It helped me alot to identify my beardie
Thank you for making this video! I've always had questions to the differences!! My last beardy past 2 years ago at 10 yrs old. Now I'm thinking of getting another one 😊
Great video! I just got a red hypo trans today and let me tell you she’s a stunner!!! She has eclipse eyes. So excited 😆she was a bit expensive but we’ll worth it!
I follow you on instagram and I thank you for the previous likes ! Also I just got a dunner today ! And I needed a video to confirm so I thank you for saving me by making this video !!!! It was so well explained and very well presented keep this up !!
Glad we can help!
Dang. So I guess that means my beardie is citrus, leatherback, hypo, with blue bands. That's complicated:P
Right? Lol great video, but still wondering what type mine is. lol
Loved learning about the different morphs and colors bearded dragons can have
Thanks for the feedback!
good info......like this very much...thanks
I didnt realize that i had a dunner awesome video!
Wow, I learned so much! Thank you
I am in love with the hypo zeros smmmm
Love all the different color morphs
Thanks!
Informative video 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh my goodness I love seeing so many beardies in this one video ❤️ My boyfriend has the cutest beardie we named Teddy, and he’s displaying this beautiful orange color as he’s growing. I don’t know if he’ll end up as red but we’lol have to see. He’s so bright and handsome!
I like how you said, “mystical” rather than mythical!☺️
✨🐉💚🐉✨
✨Peace&Blessings✨
Ps-
To answer the Q.
I love ALL of them, couldn’t choose a fav! 😄
If he said mythical, I got a free shoutout!
I seen these as ads and I love this. I been considering a beardie but I have to wait for enough space for a 75G in the future.
Great video. Great music. Great job.
I have a beautiful Red Trans dragon and 24" at 18 months old. I really love the Hypo Zero dragons, which will be my next purchase.
Your lizard can’t be transgender 😹👎
@@zuzeifurqz8746 translucent smh
amazing colours...very nice video
thank you!
I'm totally in love with the citrus yellow and the pure red one
Don’t have a beardie, never thought about owning one, don’t even know how I ended up on this side of CZcams besides general liking of animals. Best video ever.
I have a normal scale orange female with blue bars. Her name is Valyria. She's a monster of an eater! Biggest appetite out of all the dragons i've had. And I had a german giant! Her spikes are unusually long, so she looks very much like a fantasy dragon. :)
Adorable video

Oh forgot to thank you for making all the traits wiser to understand and less confusing.
I just purchased a female hypo zero from these guys tonight online. It will be the first dragon for my breeding collection! They look to be very professional as a breader compared to most. Cant wait to find a nice male hypo red now lol.
There so cute I love the colors you have 🤗 you make me want to go buy one.
That blood red bearded dragon in the video is dare devil
I like zeros they have that very pale color and the bright red is very cool looking it’s bright and dark I can’t explain it but the citrus dragons with blue marks are cool I like all of them well done in this video
Bellissimo video… finalmente quello che cercavo… grazie davvero
So informative, thanks
Thanks for the feedback!
I lover the zero-hypo gene there's just something about a pure white bearded dragon that is just awe inspiring
Beautiful dragons! I have a normal grey, a red with a great pattern, and a rescue that is yellow with a little orange and bit of brown/grey. Someday I’d like to have a zero. 😃👍🏻❤️
they are so chill
I really liked the zero well done for the vidio I really enjoyed it!
These dragons are so gorgeous
Thank You!
I love the reds! A red leatherback or a normal or even a zero are probably my dream dragons. I love the leatherbacks tok
I’m getting one next month and I really love the tangerine ones
I’ve got a beautiful dunner high red tangerine I love him so much
Great video, I love to share it with my followers on Facebook.
Thank you!
The best explanation !
Thank you!
Zero looks like me. Plain yet bootiful
Awesome. I have an orange leatherback
This help a LOT thanks for telling me about a white one so i picked the I want a white one
Thanks this helped a lot i have a normal scale blue bar
I love the Zero and hope to get one someday.
I'm getting a zero at some point soon and this video was so helpful thank you for it.
I absolutely love the classic ones! They’re so cool looking! Too bad my entire family hates reptiles!
Red leather or normal scale backs are my fav.
Also cuz red is my fav color 2.
But I have 2 baby beardies one is the normal yellow tan ish color and the other one is more black and gray.
My favorite is the hypo zero leatherback bearded dragon it's beautiful!
I had a zero dunner bearded dragon, unfortunately he died last month due to a bone disease. R.I.P George
My fav coulour was the blue bar I love it so much
Ohhhh! I love them all!
:)
got an orange trans and a grey zero, both leatherbacks, but i noticed my zero morph has translucent nails and somewhat belly
Just checked out your site today actually.. I want another one lol so you’ll probably hear from me soon
that Zero and Red are dope
I liked the zero morth and the hypo gene along with the normal beardie
I have a normal scale.He is orange,very beautiful 💘👍
awesome
I got a hypo citrus blue bar leatherback last week and so the one in the video looks just like him
Recently adopted a bearded dragon. I appreciate this video. I'm trying to figure out what her morph is.
I have an orange beardie with dunner scales 🥰
Dude watching at 2am. Now I want to get one tomorrow
I used to have a normal colored one but I’m thinking about getting a red or white I haven’t had one in a long time and only found out recently that they can come in all these colors I like the zero leatherback and the trans scaled ones
these are awsome and cute
I have a normal scale bearded dragon and he was a rescue so i know nothing about him. But I’ve come to realise that he, unlike any other beardies I’ve seen, has a bright vibrant red/orange beard all over with pure white streaks going down it. His underbelly is white and his back yellow. My sister think he’s somewhat a hypo but i cant be sure...
thanks for rescuing!
i love them all....
I love the way the Flamin Hot Dragons look
Those are beautiful beardies
I love bearded dragons
Wow they are all so beautiful, I don’t know what one I’ll get when I get a bearded dragon, but as long as it’s healthy I’ll be happy
I want to ask, is the RMB label included in the morph or color category?
I have a good ol citrus beardie and I love her so much
I have a blue bar dragon, when I bought him I thought he would be normal as he looked it and had an average price of any dragon
Silkback, patternless, albino and I can’t decide about the eyes. I know regular dragon eyes look super inquisitive and I love that. But solid eyes look really cool, so I guess I’ll decide my favorite eyes in the future.
Haha Great Video👍
Greetings from Germany!
I love the leatherbacks!
A red trans leatherback would be the most beautiful dragon I can think of. Used to have a citrus as a kid but eventually had to get rid of him when I left for college. Really want to get one again, especially now that I'd have more cash to spoil him with lol.
We will have some citrus/Orange babies available in a few weeks! Be sure to check our site for updates.
I've got a baby dunner and he's so cute!
Zeros look so beautiful!
How much do the zeros cost? It's usually ranked higher than the regular price when the color is rare.
Its the most expensive of any dragon.. So more than 200$ and 300$
They start at $500
Hello, I currently have, what i was told, a citrus leatherback het tiger het dunner. But i was under the impression dunner couldn't be het (I'm still new to this gene thing). My question is, if i pair said male with a wild type normal female, what type of babies could I expect?
I have a normal while both my sisters have citruses so Lizzie and Sasha are a little more "fancy " than my little Tora but this was pretty interesting
