Can any tell me what is his morph? Photos

[sircactuscat]

So yeah if any one could tell me what morph he is or if they have a list morphs that would be really helpful. He is only 3-4 months old but he has a really cheeky personality. When he's on me, he just wants to scamper around on the sofa and cushions.

Hello! he looks to me like a normal bearded dragon due to his coloration and the way his spikes are. Its virtually impossible to detect what form of morph a bearded dragon is to a "T" when little is known about the parent's genetics. What are you feeding him? he looks a little on the thin side - just an observation not an insult! also, i would recommend not using calcium sand in his enclosure as it has been known to cause a fatal condition called impaction which is caused by it clumping inside the bearded dragon's digestive tract, even though many pet shops recommend it as a substrate its not ideal and is only recommended to novices to make profit! -can you see it clumping in his water bowl? you can see how it would cause blockage normal, washed children's play sand from somewhere like Toys-R-Us is even cheaper and doesn't clump so its a great alternative

-Hope you find that helpful

Ok thank you . He's like I said 3-4months but we do give him calcium dust on his live food and a bit on his salad. His live food consists of 3-4 crixs and 1-2 hoppers. He also has a few mealworms and on the odd occasion a waxworm. We do sometimes give him more crixs and hoppers, depending if he is looking around for it.

is that 3-4 crix and 1-2 hoppers daily? he should be fed a lot more than that if he'll take it! around 20 crickets daily or every other day depending on how hungry he is. He looks more like a 6 month old's length to me, are you sure he's 3-4months?

 

[Em Lynch]

also what lighting are you using? if you don't mind me asking

 

[sircactuscat]

I'm using a Komodo daylight basking light bulb 100w and a 10.0% UVB light, his temps at basking are between 100-105 and the cool end is usually between 75-85. I make sure he basks and poos.

that all sounds good it looks like you have a viv-exotic enclosure like i do! which one do you have? i have the Lx 36

 

[sircactuscat]

His viv, it's the VX48

 

[Em Lynch]

nice looking bamboo root! i've always wanted one of those to go into Willow's viv is the UV bulb above where he is sitting there?

 

[sircactuscat]

Yes he's directly under it

Ummm, Hoppers are mice

 

[sircactuscat]

I mean't locusts, people refer to them as hoppers.

 

[Germ]

My mistake, one step up from Pinkies, mice are also called Hoppers.

 

[Em Lynch]

Hoppers in the U.K primarily means locusts, are you located in the U.K SirCactusCat?

 

[sircactuscat]

Yes I live in the U.K, East Midlands . There people call locusts hoppers mainly. Also how old is Willow, do you have a pic?

 

[Em Lynch]

I thought so I live in the South-West near Plymouth Locusts are great feeders but you never seem to get many in a pack! I got Willow in January this year and was told by her previous owner she hatched in late 2010, i have many pictures

here are just a couple..

 

[sircactuscat]

Aww wow, she's a nice Beardie and she has a good size. I like the log bed she is on in the first picture I can't wait for when my BD is adult size. How often do you handle her?

 

[Em Lynch]

she's around 15 inches long and 300 grams but her growth has been stunted due to her previous owner, i handle her every day she's my baby and i snuggle her to sleep every night :L but i don't handle her often during the day so she gets adequate UV and heat from her viv
