Hi, Just wondering if anyone knew the differences and if you can get a throw back from normal beardies?
No that would just be a sick, undersized beardie.Apart from what is listed above the only way you can get a dwarf beardie is if you dont feed it and it is malnutritioned which is not healthy for the lizard at all.
There are a few different species of Bearded Dragon, the most common ones in captivity are: Pogona barbata (Eastern), Pogona vitticeps (Central) and Dwarf Bearded Dragon Pogona henrylawsoni.
So unless the beardies that you are referring to have been crossbred (if you are from overseas then its highly likely they have been) you cannot get "throwbacks", if they have been crossbred then yes it is possible.
Thanks Gex
Sorry I made a mistake, Dwarf Bearded Dragon's are Pogona minor, Pogona henrylawsoni are Pygmy Bearded Dragon's AKA Blacksoil BD and Rankins BD
The Bearded Dragons that are refereed to as Dwarf BD overseas like in the UK for example are most commonly a P.henrylawsoni and P.vitticeps hybrid.
Thanks Gex
