Difference Between Regular and Clear Nails

[Robust_Beardies]

We have three beardies who are 9"-10" long and growing fast!! We have been trying to find out what morph/bloodline they may be. The whole clear nail idea also confuses us. What do clear nails look like? All three of them have see-through nails with a dark line running down the middle of it. We haven't been able to find any pictures showing just the nails to be able to tell the difference. Here are pictures of our three beardies and we tried to get a close-up of the nails. It's hard, they are sooo small!! Thanks!

How old are they? Are you willing to sell one?

Clear nails are just that, clear no color at all. Where did you get your beardies from? Are they all related? They really nice looking dragons.

I have a few pics somewhere that will show the clear nails. I just have to find them. Like Michael said, you wouldn't see the black vein in the nail with a true hypomelanistic dragon. It would be 100% clear.

Here you go

This is what clear nails would look like.

Thank you all for the responses! Thank you for the awesome close up shot of the foot, it really clarified things for us. Turns out, ours have regular nails. Sorry, they are not for sale. We have grown attached to them! We bought all three of them at a local petstore who knew nothing about them. I am not sure if they are all from the same clutch but it looks like it. From what we can tell from growth charts that we have found, they are about 3-4 months old. As far as sex goes, we're thinking we have three males. Since we know nothing about their past/parents, how can we figure out what bloodline they are?? What would you call them? (citrus, sandfire, etc.)

Bloodline, there is no way of knowing usnless the pet store bought them from a specific breeder. They look to be normal, I otherwise do not know what they would considered.

 

[Caponis]

They dont look normal to me.

 

[Matt Haines]

Anymore with the way people fling the name Sandfire around it is possible that there is some of that blood in them. They do show some signs of having the tell tale lavender sidebars.

 

[Rebel Dragons]

I wouldn't consider them as normals. They have something in them but like was stated earlier, it would be impossible to tell unless you found out who the breeder was.

Or biggest dragon (the one on the right in the first pic) just shed yesterday and we think you guys are correct. Even though we don't know who the parents are, there has to be some potential in this one! The picture was taken right after he shed. We're very happy with the outcome!

Wow!

Now those are some really nice lavender side bars! What a pretty baby!
