Red bearded dragons?!?

[Scleropages]

Howdys (again) , a few years ago I brought some baby red central bearded dragons that have grown up to be really nice yellow central bearded dragons , they started breeding last year and there babys are a nice yellow now as well :lol::lol:

So is there anyone who breeds RED red central bearded dragons around? I have herd of the SA dude , er rick walker? and urs kind of had red ones??, anyone around brissy breed RED ones?

P.S I know the red ones in OZ don't seem to be as red as the US ones , but I hope there are some almost red ones around!

Post pics if you have some really nice red ones!!

Rick Walker in Sa

 

[Reptile_Boy]

i think it would be worth the effort in import them from South Australia from rick walker

 

[ravan]

oh he's pretty!
rick walker has them... ummm maybe saz? she has some really nice ones, dont know whether she has reds though.

The vast magority of coloured "red" dragons come out orange, or yellow / orange. Even if you buy hatchies off Rick, Saz, Myself or any other person with reasonable beardies, hatchies will vary in colouration as they grow. Personally, I would never spend huge dollars on hatchy dragons, as you never know what they will turn out like... True "red" dragons are hard to find, and imo, arn't the best looking colour unless they are the 1 in a million super bright ones seen in the US and Europe ect... I'm yet to see one here that turns my head. I much prefer the super yellows myself...still these are hard to find..

Geting to the airport is a right pain in the rump :|

Hmmm bugger! , I was starting to think that about the reds , I guess if I want a red I will have to buy a yearling or adult then , you keep any red ones? Got any pics?

Nah, oranges really. I only keep 3 beardies now, and this will most likely be the last year I keep them for a while as my interests move into other areas of the hobby.. here is my best one looking his best.. I could BS and say he's always this colour, but he varys around, sometimes he's almost black with a rusty beard, throw a female or some bugs in front of him and watch him change colour in seconds.

 

[reptilefan95]

Wow jasonL hes a looker wouldnt mind picking him up

 

[mis-devious]

he is so gawjus josonL... when you move on to yet another hobby i will be glad to take him

I've got some rick walker reds breeding at the moment (in Toowoomba, not too far away), first yr though so interested to see what colours I'm going to get.
It's funny, my red male is bright orange when he's cool, bright red when mating/eating etc
On the other hand, my orange male is red when cool, bright orange when mating/eating etc.
Weird.......
That's why I'm waiting to see colours on the offspring before I go wild with advertising, as I believe they'll nearly be a true red/orange lol.
Few months away yet anyway

 

[bkevo]

yeh jasonL.. i dont think you would have any trouble selling them if they are anything like that

 

[gregcranston]

Here's my Red pair that I got off Rick walker, I hope they turn your head Jason. This is not even a great shot, they are like this most of the time, can get better and are very rarely worse looking, no joke.
I've been reluctant to show them, and they are too young to breed this coming season, so hopefully next years season. Female on left, Male on right. Enjoy!!

Nice dragon , did it produce many young that color?

Nice Dragons , how old are they?

 

[JasonL]

This is the animal that fathered Brettix's female in this thread
http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/...-herps-40/starting-to-show-colour-pics-116835
I didn't hold any back myself, sold them mostly in bulk and gave some to Symbio Zoo. I havn't seen how any of them have turned out to date...

 

[JasonL]

Hey Greg, their a nice pair, did you buy them as yearlings? I think maybe I remember Rick selling them??.... You need to get some pics that do them justice though ...

 

[gregcranston]

Nice Dragons , how old are they?

I think their about 16 months old now, but they've been slow growing.

Yeah, this pic is a bit washed out, but they are super red! I'm not sure whether a black or white background would do them better justice.
I don't think they were quite yearlings when I got them. Maybe 8-9 months. These ones weren't advertised anywhere. Others from their clutch were I think.

 

[Brettix]

I am hoping to produce some high reds this season and over the next few years.
First pic is my male Bob i bought from Saz and was Bred by Rick Walker,next is my female bred by Saz,this girl is gravid from Bob atm,then yellow fem is about to lay Bobs eggs as we speak.
Last pic is the fem i bred from Jason Lukes average orange male :lol:
Hopefully be putting her with Bob later in the season.
