Red Beardies out of the Egg!

I have heard from multiple dragon breeders that ugly red get super red at about 6 months. So, what if a clutch comes out super red do they get ugly as they get older.

From what I have seen, Reds ten to fade as they become adults. It really varies on the dragon.

I agree.

It varies from dragon to dragon.. some of the most plain and brown dragons turn up being the most beautiful adults, and some of the brightest babies turn duller as adults... but that's not always the case. Some babies that are born bright stay bright, and even get brighter... and some "plain brown" babies stay that way.

Just depends.

I had one i purchased this guy was awsome when i awesome him. he was an awesome bright almost neon orange red color. even my girl friend agreed i needed to get him. By the time he was 8-10 moths old you couldn't even see the orange in him anymore. He was still but only like a light tangerine color.

I agree with Bliss on his statement. Not all reds become dull as adults, but alot of them do. My red adult male has dulled considerably from when he was a baby, but his children are becoming much brighter the older they get. It all depends on genetics in most cases. I paired him up with a red female Crawley Red/Chris Allen Red/Crimson Red/Hypo Red/Red Sandfire/Chris Allen Red/Blood Red and let me tell you when she is fired up she still is really red. There daughter is still really red and she is over a 1 year old now, but her brothers are bright red.
