Looks like a normal coloration to me. But color is quite subjective and not really set in stone. He looks like he is Brown with yellow tones which is common. I can say he is not a hypo or trans as those are easily identifiable set traits. But as far as the names like "Citrus Tangerine" or "Rainbow Tiger" that's just names breeders give dragons to make them more marketable. In reality they are just Yellow, orange, red.... etc. Dragons. What one breeder calls one thing another can call something else.

After saying all of that I do think you have a nice and healthy looking dragon. :)

That's great Shelley he looks sweet. Sometimes they go thru an adjusting period getting used to his new home.. And with how healthy he looks he should be just fine in no time

I'm going to disagree with Daniel up there. Looks like you got yourself a hypo there. Hypomelanistic means lacking in black pigment. The dark coloring on them is actually more like a lavender or blue bars. The way you can tell that they are hypo is that all 10 nails are clear.

I think your right after a second look. I thought the nails were dark but they are clear. Awesome catch.
So I change my verdict to happy healthy hypo Dragon :)
