Hi there, just wondering what makes a dragon hypo? I read in abbreviation that it means lack ofmelanine. This is my white x white from a Saz line? Is he considered hypo?

 

[Pinoy]

You're right about the lack of melanin.
I can't see your pic (on my phone) so I won't say anything about yours.
But one of the signs of a hypo beardy is clear nails. As hatchlings, their naills are clear and it's easy to see compared to their clutchmates. However they can get darker as they get older too.

 

[Xcell]

Hypo is actually an abbreviation of the word hypomelanistic. This word implies a Bearded dragon with a diminished dark pigmentation. Hypo means less and melanistic means pigmented. Black pigments are produced, but not transported. This results into a lightly coloured appearance compared to a standard coloured Bearded dragon. Some standard animals are lightly coloured, but not a Hypo. They differ from true Hypo's, because they lack the heritable genetic disorder that is transferred through generations. The difference is found within the genotype and phenotype. The genotype (genes) of a Hypo is completely difference, while phenotype (the way they look like) can be almost identical.


Hope this helps, its copied from a site about some bd genetics

Oh and the best way to tell is hypos will have completely clear nails

Thanks for that guys, much clearer now. My white has coloured nails but i still love him purchasing any more beardies this season has been forbidden by my partner, but from what sort of pairing would a hypo be produced? Also what is the cost of one?

 

[Grogshla]

I must have one of these hypo dragons one day

 

[Xcell]

To get a hypo you will need to breed 2 dragons with hypo in there genes. Either two het hypos. (carry the hypo gene but doesnt show it). Or hypo cross het. Hypo. Or hypo cross hypo. In the next few seasons there will be a whole heap of hets. For sale and the odd 100% Hypos.and soon enough i think we should have some different coloured hypos, which i cant wait to see.

Dunno if or what he has avaliable atm, but right now Brettix is your man for Hypos. Hes has some stunning dragons and is great with all the help you need
