    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....

Hi There,

I am also wondering how to tell what species it is. Thank you in advanced for all of your help. I can post pics if that will help just let me know.

Sorry about the first picture i took it wrong. I visited that site and my dragon is actually a male and not a female like i had thought. but if someone could help me with finding out what morph he is that would be great.
 
"Morph" can only be determined if you know who the parents are and what they are genetically. He looks like a fancy normal, a beautiful one! When you say "morph", you generally refer to whether it's translucent, hypomelanistic, or varying degrees of "leatherback" - these all refer to scale pattern and pigmentation, not necessarily "color". Color is secondary, meaning you could easily have "citrus hypo-translucent leatherbacks" or "red hypo-translucent leatherbacks" -- same expressed polymorphism ("Morph") combination, different color phases. Just from looking at his patterns, he's probably got citrus tiger in his lineage. Soft yellow coloration, subtle purple sidebars, give that indication. He's not hypo, he's not trans, and he's not a leatherback - and to know if he's heterozygous for any of those mutations (meaning he carries the polymorphism, it just isn't expressed), you'd have to know more about his parents. He looks great though, healthy and happy! You've got a lovely dragon :)
 
Thank you very much. As far as knowing who is parents are, I have no way to tell. He was purchased around this time last year from Petco. They do keep there reptiles healthy, but really have no one that works there that is really knowledgeable with the reptiles.
 
Yeah...sadly, that happens a lot at chain pet stores. Good thing you got him outta there, right? He looks awesome, I hope you're enjoying him!
 
I do enjoy it, he is such nice company. He gets up with me in the morning and eats whenever i eat. Very laid back and is finally starting to let me hold him and relax on my chest. I hope to get more in the future.
