Stand-Out Features
- Guaranteed Genetic Stripe: This is not a pattern mutation; it's a heritable genetic trait that will be passed to offspring, making it a solid foundation animal for projects.
- High-Red Expression: Displays deep, saturated red hues across the body and head, which will intensify with proper care and age.
- Excellent Health & Feeding: We ship only established babies that are actively eating a diet of gut-loaded insects and greens.
- Captive-Bred & Handled: Bred in-house or from trusted partners, these babies are accustomed to human interaction, aiding in taming.
- Under an Ounce of Added Weight: As our staff notes, the practical carry weight of this setup is barely noticeable.

Your Questions Answered
How red will this dragon stay as an adult?
The red coloration is genetic and will persist. With proper UVB lighting, heat, and nutrition—including carotenoid-rich foods like bell peppers and certain greens—the red can become even more vibrant and intense as the dragon matures.
What does "Genetic Stripe" mean?
It means the clean, solid stripe running down the dragon's back is caused by a specific heritable gene. Unlike a pattern that can break up, this stripe is a consistent trait. When bred, this dragon has a statistical probability of passing the stripe gene to its offspring.
Is everything needed for care included?
No. This is for the animal only. You must have a proper setup ready: a minimum 40-gallon breeder tank for a baby (with plans to upgrade), a dedicated heat gradient with basking spot (~105-110°F), full-spectrum UVB lighting, and appropriate substrate, hides, and décor.
