First Bearded Dragon! A few questions.

[Stankybean]

First time bearded dragon owner. We picked up Komodo from the pet store a few weeks ago. So far she's eating well and seems happy and healthy. I have 2 questions.

1) Any idea of how old she is from the picture? the petstore person said "6 months" but she's only 7" long
2) pet store guy also said she was a "special color morph" but didn't specify what. Any ideas from looking at the picture?

Thanks and have a great day.

Welcome to the forum , very cute little dragon, she does have unique patterns, but i will say the colors are pretty basic (tan, yellow, orange) you’ll have to wait till shes an adult to see her real colors, i will say her scales do look smaller, maybe reduced scaling , or maybe its jus cuz shes a baby? she does have clear nails so she is hypo, the only unique thing i see is her pattern, the horizontal lines going up the body. Take her out in the sun for half an hour , then take a picture for us after she lightens up, her being dark isnt her natural coloring, after shes heated up she’ll lighten up , and those will be here real colors.
