    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

have you guy's seen this?

Calling that a pied is a big stretch.

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.
 
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.
 
Heres a pic of one of my paradox hypotrans. These guys are becoming more and more common:)

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

hahaha!

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