    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....

Well a post concerning favorite colors on another forum brought up something that I always find amusing in the bearded dragon world. The red Vs. orange debate. A dragon that most would call red being orange and vice versa. I have a few pics posted below and i would love to hear your input on what color each of these dragons are.

(Note these dragons all belong to me and are in my care no photos were stolen or borrowed from any other source)

I will not post my opinions as I do not wish to sway the answers with what color I think my dragons are. And feel free to post your own photos as well (though please answer also lol)
 
Red
Red-Orange
Red
Orange

I'm definitely interested in knowing how close my interpretation is to yours!
 
Well this is how I see it with them.

Dragon number 1 is orange, number 2 is orange, number 3 is red, and number 4 is pastel orange. But like I said I am interpreting the color literally. And as I pointed out it seems in the reptile hobby literal color is no longer what is published its more the color you want it to be. Thats why so many dragons are listed as red but if you really look at them you know that they just are not red.
 
Well, whatever you want to call them, you have some very nice looking dragons! Here's a little hypo girl that I just received yesterday. I can't wait to see what she looks like over the next few months...and at a year!!

Thanks Brian. I can't wait to see what she'll look like in a couple more months...and even moreso by this time next year! My photography skills are lacking....in skills! :ack2: I didn't realize how "washed out" these pics were until I saw them blown up. I took both of these directly under her basking light.
 
my thoughts

1. orange
2. orange
3. red
4. red, since red dragons usually fade some as they grow at some point he must have been pretty dark red.

what about my male. leucistic x volcano red.
