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.
