Hypomelanistic × Leatherback
Central Bearded Dragon — what the clutch can be, if both parents show only these genes.
The clutch
| 50% | Leatherback, het Hypomelanistic | |
| 50% | het Hypomelanistic |
Out of every 16
What every 16 hatchlings from this pairing would look like.
- Leatherback, het Hypomelanistic8 in 1650.0%
- het Hypomelanistic8 in 1650.0%
Percentages are what each hatchling has a chance of being, not a promise about the clutch. A clutch of six can come out any way at all.
Documented health finding. Two copies of this gene produce a Silkback, an animal with essentially no scales. Silkbacks are widely documented to shed with difficulty, to be prone to skin damage and retained shed around the toes and tail, to lose moisture faster than a scaled animal, and to be more sensitive to handling and to UV exposure. Many keepers and welfare bodies consider the combination one that should not be produced.
Worked out by treating each gene separately and combining the results, which is how these are inherited. Inheritance for Central Bearded Dragon morphs is established by breeders through repeated crosses rather than published genetics, except where a morph page says otherwise — how this is put together.
