Silkback Central Bearded Dragon?

Not really a dragon fan, but that looks pretty cool.
Hopefully it pulls through for you and gets stronger.

If it is the same mutation as the silkybacks overseas, then you will find that when its bred to an unrelated animals all of the offspring will be leatherbacks. Then you can assume its the same mutation.

If it turns out to be recessive, then it would be a different morph altogether.

Good luck and congrats on getting yourself a neat project.

so good to hear he is more alert today,. thats great news!

 

[gregcranston]

Has the clutch fully emerged now, and if so, were their any other "silkbacks"? Are there any other clutches from the same parents?

 

[GeckoJosh]

It is a bit premature to presume its going to be a simple mendelian trait or even inheritable at all.
I really hope it is though

Well done exciting times around bearded dragons, i also have hatched some leather backs and they are doing very well. here are some pics of one next to a normal.

levis, are the parents of yours anything special or hold any leatherback genes?

 

[levis04]

The male is stunning red to orange, the female was a pastel she is quite an old animal so wasnt to hopefull for her clutch, but all leather backs hatched. They were weaker than the normal hatchies and took 2 days to hatch. Lost a few early but a few kicked on and are thirving, fingers crossed for the next 12mths.

24 hours later ... improving slowly


Not feeding yet, which is not unusual. I did give it a few drops of Glucozade, which definately helped, however difficult to get the drops in
