Beardies fun from Russia!

[Lafresa]

Hi all! My name is Irina.
And I am from Russia (from town, where Chaikovsky lived).
I keep a bearded dragons since 2011. I'm very happy to chat on this forum!

Unfortunately, my first dragon died this spring. And at the moment I have five of them:
male by the name of Paul (1.5 years),
female yellow - Catherine (2 years)
red female - Darling (Evdokia) (1.5 years),
young yellow male - Stepan (7 months)
bright orange baby - Masyan (4 months)

Hopefully in the General Bearded Dragon Discussion will help me with a specific definition of the morphs.

I apologize for my bad English!

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your first dragon

 

[Lafresa]

Thank you! Actually I did not understand because of what he died. His name was Alexander (his picture on my avatar). I bought him in 2011, very young! He was less than two months!
He grew up fine and ate a lot, but once in the morning (21 March 2014), I found him dead in his cage.

He was a beautiful dragon!

 

[Lafresa]

Thank you!

Maybe you can help me with the definition of morph into my topic "Help identify morphs!"?
I would like to find a decent pair of my dragons

I'm not an expert, but from what I've read so far, the "morph" seems to be based on the lineage of the dragon (parent dragons). That seems to be the most accurate way to determine the morph. If you don't know the lineage of your dragon (which is the case for one of mine I bought at a pet store simply labeled "fancy"), certain aspects seem to be able to be determined based on the physical characteristics. I'll use my two dragons as examples. In my pics, my lighter dragon Spike was purchased with a "fancy" label from a pet store but based on his coloring and clear nails, he appears to be a Citrus Hypo Morph. My darker dragon Bellatrix was purchased where I could see her parents and she is a Regular Morph.
Any more experienced beardie keepers have a clearer explanation? I know my knowledge of the subject is still limited!

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I wanted to hear.

Because in our country the situation is as follows: dragons are purchased abroad and sellers hang give them any names, just to sell.
The result - no one knows morph and color.

And yesterday my yellow female has done a great clutch of 18 eggs! 17 of them were good and one possibly empty.

And the parents:

male

female

Sorry: ... sellers give them any names, just to sell.

Great pictures! Be careful with the black seeds in the watermelon, they are hard to digest.

 

[SpikeDragon714]

How exciting! Mine are too young to breed but I plan to learn everything I can until they're ready so I can breed someday. I'm excited to follow what happens with her clutch! Keep us updated!

 

[SpikeDragon714]

Beautiful parents, by the way!

 

[Lafresa]

Thank you all!

Watermelon I give only seedless. The photo shows that only the flesh in the tongs.

By the way, I already have one clutch. Unfortunately it was only 1 egg. And it should hatch on 10 October.
This is my first-born bearded dragon.
Before that, I reproduce only corn snakes. (different morphs).

Very nice dragons. cant wait to see more in the future. as far as morphs..you can call them whatever i guess.. but if you can't prove it there's no difference other than the obvious Visual Trans, Hypo, Coloring, and Dunner traits.
That's why breeders sell proven dragons for so much money.

Welcome to the site Irina, good luck with the clutches!

 

[Lafresa]

thanks for the warm welcome!

Unfortunately, I am very bad write and understand English, so I can only upload photos lol)

You're doing great! Don't worry about it! I'd never even be able to say hi on a Russian forum, so I'm impressed with your English reading and writing!

I was thinking more about your "Morph" question and there is an amazing online breeder that has Super Citrus, Citrus, Reds and then they have the Hypo's, Leatherbacks, Silkies.... The list goes on and on. You should check them out for some great examples. If you look at their page that has the parents/breeders it lists what they are and it's pretty cool! Here's the website:
