May be transitioning into being a pied animal. Either way, that is awesome. Congrats!!!

Interesting ! It really looks like an uneven shed. How long has it been that way? Has it been that way all along?

Nope,she already shed. I have 3 more from the same clutch that look similar. I hope they are a pied!

Where did the parents come from, are the related? I am working with BBD poss-pied line, so I am curious. 3 in one clutch, suspicious odds.

Calling that a pied is a big stretch.

I quess im calling it a " I wish it was a pied", the dad is a hypo trans, the mom is a hypo leather. It's different.

Pied bearded dragons hatch normal, and lose color in patches as they mature. There is also an "anery patch" as well as a "purple patch" phenotype of the hypo + translucent gene polygenic combination. Pied is possible, but likely a purple patch and furthermore, if there are three of them, it's likely something completely different. I have not watched any of the above transition, I cannot say what to expect,
To the op: Are there any non-translucent dragons losing color too, or is this expressed only in the translucent offspring?

Only in the translucents.

Will you post a picture of all three? I am very interested in this.

ok here are pictures of the other 2 siblins i held back, they are not as patchy, and i believe the one is the purple patching DNA was talking about... I might just be making a big deal out of nothing? the last picutre is showing that she is in shed.

Well it is hard to see what is shed and what is not shed, however if they are as you say they are then you are not making a big deal out of nothing! 3 from one clutch is great, and looks legit. But there is no way to ever know unless you cross them.

Pieds, purples, paradox, transluscent hets, trans patched, etc, are all created the same way. It's a result of mixing hypo and trans together.

Sorry, I skimmed over your post. The father is a hypotrans. Definately paradox.

Heres a pic of one of my paradox hypotrans. These guys are becoming more and more common
Josh
Yeah, I wonder why that is???

hahaha!
I wanted to add that paradox is not a controlled trait like recessive, codominant, and dominant. Line breeding can increase them.

You must be refering to something else.
Off topic: Have you seen the german-dragons pied that proved out and is not from hypo trans lines.
