what kind of beardie do i have?

[josh leon]

I got my beardie from petsmart and I was trying to figure out if he was anything special, or just special to me lmao

Typically beardies from PetSmart are the basic beardies. If you wanted a "special" kind you would need to go to a breeder. But they can be very expensive and 90% of us get our beardies from PetSmart. I can name 6 of us off the top of my head, including you now that have PetSmart beardies and they are special to us!

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your beardie, he is beautiful and special!! Can't wait to see more pictures as he starts growing!!

He's definitely got very beautiful markings he does look like he has an extra splash of some type of orange or red in him. As he grows and sheds more you may notice even more vibrant colors. He's absolutely precious!

Two of my three dragons are from Petsmart. One was called a fancy and had more color than a normal but looks more like a normal now, just darker. Just have to wait and see.

I gave him a bath today, and took a picture near a window, you can see his colors much better in this picture

He's definitely not what I would call a "normal" Beardie, at least he doesn't look like it. I got my girl at petsmart and she is a normal sandy color. Yours has much more orange and citrus in him. I really don't know what you would actually call his particular color combination. There are so many different color combinations and different names breeders call them it's really hard to say. but he sure is a beautiful little one

This is my girl Spyra, as you can see she is the definition of a "normal" sandy Beardie. Yours has a lot of citrus and other colors in him. You should search sandfire Dragons and see if you think your guy could possibly fit in that category. There is a real broad range of colors that falls into this category some being more yellow, orange, red, sandy, or citrus mixed with a sandy pattern. They are beautiful dragons. Hope this is at least somewhat helpful.
