Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Question about one of my breeders
I have a female breeder that was possible het. for leucistic. Last season I proved she wasn't a het. by breeding her to my het. male. She is almost completely patternless and only shows a pattern when she's stressed out. Does that mean that she is a hypomelanistic?
Thanks,
Dillon

Dillon, just because she didn't produce any leucistics bred to your het male doesn't really PROVE that she is not a het....odds very possibly may have just been against you. Not super likely, considering how many eggs you get in one clutch of Beardies, but it is possible. Statistically, a het bred to a het will only produce 1 in 4 of whatever they are het for.....sometimes the "odds Gods" don't smile on you. I'd give her another shot bred to the het male, or an actual leucistic if possible. You may get lucky.

I strongly agree with cat, a het to a het is just playing the odds. Sometime you hit and sometimes you miss. I hope you the best in the future.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm pretty sure that she's not het. The reason is, 80% of the eggs hatched. If 25% are supposed to be Leucistic, then atleast one or two leucistics would have hatched.
Thanks,
Dillon

If those eggs always went exactly by the statistics, yes. But it doesn't always happen that way (especially when you have luck like mine). I've known folks who have bred het to visual and managed to miss getting any visual babies on occasion. It's all in the roll of the genetic dice.
Best of luck.
