The dragons have arrived

[Xoetix]

Six. I originally said I'd take 2 or 3.

MY PARTNER said we'd take 6.

AND YET I CAN'T HAVE 6 BIRDS.

Whatever

 

[Xoetix]

Those were all taken during the drive home.

This dude is my favorite though. Loooook at that color!

 

[Mizzely]

Wow they are all gorgeous!

 

[April]

Wowza! What a bunch of beauties! Absolutely stunning morphs on a lot of them. Can't wait to see more pics and hear more about them.

 

[Xoetix]

if any of y’all know anything about what Morse they are, by all means tell me. I know doodly crap about morphs lmao

 

[Mizzely]

Yeah morphs are not my strong suit.

The really orange one maybe Tangerine? I believe that's what I've seen that shade called at the petstore but i don't know how accurate that is.

@riddick07 might know.

They are very pretty but much like with the birds I also prefer the ones that look how they do out in the wild. How many will you keep????

None, ideally. I'm actually not a big beardie person. But if I had to choose, just that red one.

Meghan, please enlighten me. Are they chameleons?

They're a species called bearded dragons! They're pretty neat (if a little boring) - they have a set of scales under their chin that looks like a beard. When they're angry, they can turn it black! They're a desert species originally from Australia

 

[Emma&pico]

So gorgeous the orange one’s stunning

We have a lot of wild water dragons around my area, they are close to beardies. They are so cute! The ones around Alex Heads have learnt to steal food from tourists and beach goers, it is hilarious! Although they probably should not be eating potatoes and such.

I will clarify that there are rivers over there so they walk up to the grass areas before the beaches to steal food. They aren't swimming in the ocean.

I'm pretty jealous of all the reptiles y'all have down there! You have some of my favorite python species

 

[Xoetix]

Isadora got a look at one and is concerned

I like them best when they are in their habitats. There was just a crazy criminal ring busted with hundreds of poor reptiles in small boxes for illegal export. Thank goodness they were found. It is so sad.

Beautiful beardies! The Red is gorgeous and looked like maybe some type of Sunburst? Also are some of them young or leatherbacks? I can’t tell if they have scales on their backs

please post more photos! I’m living vicariously through you <3 lol I used to have a bearide but am no longer in the hobby

 

[Pixiebeak]

They are gorgeous. I got sucked down a YouTube hole once and they covered every color mutation imaginable!!! I retained nothing tho

No leatherback that I can tell, but maybe a couple that are het for it? Hard to say, I'm WAY better versed in snake genetics hahaha I can't even properly ID a normal to be honest!

I kind of wonder if I should start their own thread. Their whole situation has been a mess, and could be getting messier, health-wise.

 

[DesertBird]

They are gorgeous! That red one is stunning. I know absolutely nothing about reptiles, I didn't even know Bearded Dragons come in any other colors besides their natural light brown.
