Your Questions Answered
How is the temperament on these dragons?
This line is selected for calmness. As juveniles, they are alert and active feeders. With regular, gentle handling, they mature into exceptionally docile adults, making them a solid choice for enthusiasts of all experience levels.
Will the yellow color fade or change?
The hypo and leather traits work to lock in the bright coloration. While all bearded dragons can experience some color shifts with mood and temperature, the lemon yellow is a genetic hallmark of this morph and will remain the dominant hue into adulthood.
What setup do you recommend?
A standard 40-gallon breeder tank is the minimum for an adult. Key requirements are a basking zone of 100-110°F, a UVB light covering 2/3 of the enclosure, and a varied diet of gut-loaded insects and fresh greens appropriate to their life stage.
