Translucent Citrus Bearded Dragon Male for sale.
🐉 Morph Characteristics
-
Translucent Trait: This recessive genetic trait causes the skin to appear slightly see-through, especially in hatchlings. It often gives the belly a bluish tint. As the dragon matures, the translucency can lessen but may remain visible in some areas.
-
Citrus Coloration: “Citrus” refers to the bright yellow or lime-green coloration, giving the dragon a vivid and attractive appearance.
-
Eye Color: Translucent dragons frequently have solid black eyes, lacking visible irises, which gives them a striking, almost otherworldly look.
-
Scales and Spikes: Their scales and spikes may appear shinier or glossier than typical bearded dragons, sometimes with a soft or gummy texture.
