Im looking after my mates BD coz hes gone over seas for a while, just wondering if anyone could tell me by a picture what breed he is?

There isnt really any breed differential. You can find alot of good info on this site to take care of that little dragon. Good luck.

Wow, so you have 3 bearded dragons in your care?

I think what you are looking for is what is called bearded dragon morphs. There are several different color and pattern phases of bearded dragons today. Breeders are selectly choosing bearded dragons to mate in order to produce "enhanced" color and patterns. The "Sandfire" morph is probably the most popular morph available today, along with the Red phase and Red/Gold phase.

It kinda looks like a regular brown to me.

Well in Australia we have 2 different breeds. Black Soiled (Henry Lawson) which are what my 2 are and they grow to roughly 15cm in body length and there is also the Inland BD which grow to about 25cm in body length. Just for some information for all you overseas people

Well, thanks for setting us straight.

adorable. what kind of substrate is he using?

 

[pinkynbrain]

well, just found out my friend isnt coming home for a few years haha. So we will have him for a while. At the moment we are using garden soil but as soon as we can upgrade to tiles we will. Also he seems to love the soil as he can kick it over him at night

What a good friend you are!

I've never heard of soil as a substrate. Just be careful of bacteria that could form from their poop. Make sure you change it often.

Yeah, we wouldn't want (might be toxic) mushrooms growing in their cage. "ooh, what's that weird thing?" *chomp*
