Bearded dragon with white eyes
 

Hey,

So, I haven't had much luck with google, so thought I'd ask here.

I got this dragon last night as a present from my roommate. She appears healthy, other than needed to put on some weight. I haven't noticed any issues with her sight. I noticed something while photographing her. Her irises are white around the outside, and the standard gold/yellow in the center around the pupil. Was curious is this is a known genetic mutation, or just a common color. I have never seen it in any dragons I've had, but it has been around 7 years since I've had dragons. Here she is:

Hmmm...I've found a page describing this as a blood vessel in the eye being ruptured. I'll need to get a closer look at her and try to get some better pics.

It is certainly worth looking into! I have very little experience with dragons (I kept 5 of them for the summer while one of my professors when home for a visit to South Africa), so I can't be of help regarding the cause, but I will definitely be watching this thread, as you have peaked my curiosity!

Best of Luck!

This girl sadly passed away shortly after I got her. :(

Thanks guys. The person that had her apparently didn't have any sort of heat on her or lighting all winter. She had a pretty rough respiratory infection and passed before I could get her in to see the vet.
