![]() This is a misunderstanding of the genetics and only creates confusion. Sometimes the term ‘partial trans’ is used to describe dragons that do not have fully black eyes. The exact reason why the trans mutation causes these changes to skin and eye color are unknown. Their eyes may then darken again, and continue to change back and forth until settling on a final appearance. Over a period of a few days their eyes can change from solid black to looking completely normal. The eyes of trans dragons can also change dramatically as they mature. The hypo trait also helps to reduce the amount of melanin in their scales so that other colors appear more vibrant. Hypo bearded dragons have clear nails without the usual brown stripe of melanin running down the top of each nail. If it receives the trait from only one parent then it will only carry the trait and will not have any of the visual signs. Recessive means that the dragon will only display the visual signs of the trait if it receives that trait from both of its parents. The hypo trait in bearded dragons is a recessive mutation that causes the dragon to produce less melanin. Melanin can take several different chemical forms, which each have their own unique color, but it is usually brown or black (it can also be red, but don't worry about that). Melanin is a pigment that is found all throughout the animal kingdom. ![]() Hypo is short for hypomelanism, which literally means “less melanin”. What terminology we do use is defined in basic terms. So you won't find any complex genetic terminology here. This knowledge is also essential to fully appreciate these reptiles. Only by learning what each mutation means and how to identify them, can you protect yourself from breeders that mislabel their animals. The mutations discussed in this article all produce interesting visual changes to the bearded dragon's basic appearance. Other times they are used to be intentionally misleading.Ī mutation is a change that occurs within DNA that can then be passed down to future generations. Some of these terms result from misunderstanding of bearded dragon genetics. I will also tell you about the terms that some breeders use that are only confusing or misleading.
