Is that a baby from your lowxlow breeding?
You probably already know that Shaitan is moving here after christmas.

congrats on your employment as well!

 

[Justin Carl]

Thanks Nico and Rikki!

Brad,

Yes, this is lowxlow.
Holy crap! I have quite a few high ends too!
I did see that you purchased her from Cain.
She has had several homes, but I'm sure she will be appreciated over there!
She is definitely breeding age/size if I remember right.

More pics tomorrow.
I need to go to bed.

Not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that breeding related chams (i.e. brothers and sisters, etc.) can cause this "mutation"., causing the skin to look "transparent". I've seen a few bearded dragons like this too before...

LIke I said, I'm no expert, this is just what I've read. I'll wait for some of the pros to pitch in.

If only it were that simple .....

The mutation was discovered in the wild and I don't think it occurred as a result of incest.
It's a very new discovery. If it were caused by breeding siblings we would have seen it before now.

Brad,

can you tell me where you read that the translucents occured in the wild? I'm very curious because in my opinion it's because of inbreed but if there is some "prove" that they occur in the wild then I have to change my opinion

There was a trio brought from the wild. 1 male 2 females. The translucent is a gene. If you took a class in biology you probably learned about dominant and recessive(Xx) i believe high translucent is (xx) low is (Xx) and normal is (XX)

also search translucent veiled and there are many threads here discussing them

Congratulations on the new babies and the new job!!!!!! Those little babies are adorable! Jann

 

[reyesjoshuacruz]

the gene had to exist naturally at some time or another, whether or not this mutation was natural isnt even questionable.......i think
