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.

are they sure its a genetic thing with the zero? The only thread/picuture I saw sounded like he just bought a silver traslucent from someone. Also, you can see darker areas down both sides of the back where the circle pattern thingies often are on beardies. This beardie shows what circle things I'm talking about. the lighter bits on this girls back http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=291805

Hi guys
A few months ago someone from Germany sent me some pics of the Zero's. On the pics I received one could clearly see that they were not truly patternless! The sub-orbital stripe is clearly visible and the mottled back is quite obvious. I am sure that these would end up going patternless as they grow older. Just like the leucistics and Silverbacks.
I was asked if these were Witblits. I said that they are not, since Witblits is truly patternless from day 1! My comment was that they are Silverbacks (I made this conclusion from the comments I have heard about Silverbacks, I have never seen one in real life). I might be totally wrong about them being Silverbacks.
Josh perhaps you could comment whether they look more like Silverbacks sincew you have seen both Witblits and Silverbacks? They definately are not Witblits!
I heard a story that the Silverbacks (more correctly known as the Japanese Silverbacks) were actualy produced for the first time in Germany back in 2006/2007 and not actualy in Japan.
This would explain why a similar looking morph popped out in Gemany as those genes have lurked around for quite a while).
I see the post on the Kingsnake forum is made by 'ghostdragons'. I know the breeder from Ghost Dragons in Germany. If they are one and the same then I will contact him and ask for more info.
From what I heard is that the original breeder of the Zero's (He goes by the name 'Milo', I think) bred these by pure chance. Just like my Witblits, and most other morphs... He has no history or whereabouts of the parents of them. Apparantly he incubated a batch of eggs for someone and these popped out. It is also not yet proven of they are genetic or not.
It would be great for the patternless gene pool if these are the same mutation as Silverbacks (but not related) or at least compatible with Witblits. This morph holds great potential nontheless! Only thing is the price of the patternless dragons will drop quite quickly now.
We will have to work on a new mutation. My plans are to go for a solid pitch black dragon!

I love all of the new and exciting mutations! I have to say that so far I like the Witblits the most.

Honestly, zero's look more like witblits, just with dark/partial dark eyes. I was told the opposite, that zero's hatch completely patternless out of the egg. All three of these patternless could be/not be compatible, or you may get a completely different result combining them together. Time will tell on these guys. There needs to be some future breedings done to see what is going on with them.
Silverbacks have been around longer than 2006-2007 in Japan.

Jaques- didn't ghost dragons buy one of your witblits? I thought I saw it before on their site.

Kelli- It's crazy how many dragon mutations have popped up recently. Dragons are moving very quickly.

I agree with your statement, but was curious as to how you think this will affect the future of bearded dragons and their market? Do you think that they will end up as ball pythons have with a plethora of genetic mutations being mixed together with a large percentage of the hobby keeping different morphs? Or similar to what has happened to hypos, translucents, and leatherbacks, with their prices leveling out relatively quickly (within 10 or so years I believe)?

All of the new morphs have made breeding exciting again for me. After 18 years of breeding bearded dragons, I was getting kind of bored...I have not been this stoked in a long time. Now there are a few newer recessive traits & dominant/co-dom traits, and the whole thing is really interesting for me. For the first time in a while, I can't wait to get up in the morning and look in the incubator! I'm anxious to get to the Super Show next month and see some of the new stuff...hopefully Josh won't be holding out
