I always thought normals were darker in color! Thank you for the response!If I'm being honest, I don't see and morphs, so your beardie is a standard/ normal visually. It's impossible to tell any hets (recessive) traits he/she might be carrying without breeding into another with known genetics. However your beardie has very beautiful patterning and coloring. Those are not morphs though. Morphs are mutated genes that can be reproduced reliably such as hypo or translucent. Color and pattern are more like melting crayons and stirring them together. You kind of know what you'll get but it's impossible to reproduce reliably.
You need to have XP 29 look at him-Hi,
I have a baby that looks just about the same. I was told that he was a red. But the red color doesn’t come out till the are about a year old. I might have been told a big pile of bologna, but maybe someone here knows.
My guy is a very light tan, more than grey. Like your guy seems to be.

Your welcomeI always thought normals were darker in color! Thank you for the response!
I also don't see any visual morphs in your baby. It could develop some red as it ages but it will more than likely end up a sandy beige and orange. Also like @CookieK93 there is no way of guessing hets. Through breeding or asking the breeder is the only way to knowHi,

They shed as they grow, so not scheduledJust got new photo. Dragon - I know most original name not— is shedding. Very effectively too. Almost all shed is gone. I think he looks a tiny bit more orangey colored. But it could be my eyes.
How often do they shed? Is it a scheduled like dog fall and spring a big blow of coat. Or when their skin can’t get loose enough for their body?
