I am interested in hearing why you dont believe in leucistic dragons. By definition, leucistic means "reduced" pigmentation of the skin. Isnt that what we see with most "leucistic" dragons? It doesnt mean completely lacking in skin pigments. I have read a little on this subject in the past but have never really been able to wrap my arms around it. If the dragons that I have from Dunne, Dachui and others arent leucistic, what are they?

Learn something every day right?! Let class begin!

If this is the case most of my hypo pastels are leucistics. I don't believe they are...
In my opinion (very light colored hypo pastels)

There is a difference between a Hypo pastel and Luecistic I breed both

I'd love to see both side by side...

Hi RR. As I have told you: WOW! Awesome lizard! I would guess that our witblits dragons are not the same mutation as your silver dragon, although we do have some witblits babies that are silver-grey in colour. I still think you should breed yours with a witblits to see what the results are. Can only be good! Do you have any pictures of this dragon when she was a hatchling? Was she born patternless? It looks like she does have faint markings on her back or am I wrong? Congratulations!

Hi Jacques, might be a good idea for you to start a thread about your new dragons.

Tell us how they came about and post some pics for us all to see.

a dragon listed as a leucistic is only being marketed as such. The reason being that Leucistic bearded dragons do not meet the criteria that follows the definition of a leucistic. IMO most dragons sold as leucistics, if traced back far enough would be found to either just come from a severely light line or have hypo found in their background. Someone wants to prove me wrong and show me a solid blue eyes paper white leucistic dragon then I will say I am wrong.

That is definitely a very unique bearded dragon. Very cool.

To say that you dont believe in a leucistic dragon is a bold statement. but when it comes down to it. Who has or breeds pure leucistic dragons. i have seen a ton of people try and market a dragon as a leucistic. but every leucistic dragon looks different. and modern day leucistic's are called "marketed leucistic" because its not a solid bloodline. its crossed out. So where does that leave us???

If you breed an actual leucistic dragon we would love to see the pictures. It may answer some questions. Actually didnt you promice pics of a "leucistic Dragon" on another thread and you never posted them there either??

I'm to short on dragon funds for now. But I will one day probably buy a witblits to breed to the line if I can prove her out. Its going to take a few years of breeding to see if she is just a one and only...Thanks for your input though I plan on keeping in touch to see how your breeding projects go...

As far as I know and anyone else I have came accross, there is no and never was a solid leucistic dragon. If there is I would love to see the picks so I can put a rest to this thought. Again I don't believe there is any true leucistic dragons.
