Hypo Zero Bearded Dragon

A Hypo Zero Bearded Dragon is a very pale, white, beardie that has no patterns. It is a new and emerging morph that is becoming popular.

Hypo means “low or below normal”. This trait is caused by a mutation that causes the body to produce less melanin (the pigment responsible for dark colors on their skin, hair and eyes). They are born brightly colored and grow paler with age.

This morph is one of the rarer morphs and a great choice for those who don’t want a completely white dragon. These lizards can be found in a variety of colors and can be mixed with other morphs to create unique dragons.

These morphs vary in price, depending on their specific traits and their market demand. The more rare the morph is, the higher the price will be.

Witblits: A patternless morph that is similar to the hypo morph but is a bit lighter in color overall. It can be a light sandy tan, grey or beige.

Blue Bar: A bluish or purplish coloration with bars or stripes along the back of the dragon. It is commonly combined with red and orange morphs to make them even more vibrant.

Citrus: A morph that has prominent tiger-like stripes that are bright orange or yellow in color. It is frequently bred with the hypomelanistic, witblits, and citrus morphs.

Paradox: These morphs are very unique and are considered the most difficult to breed. They are random assortments of colors that aren’t normally found in any other morphs.

Hypo Zero Bearded Dragon is generally considered one of the all-time best lizard pets. It is known for being alert, hardy and tame, and bearded dragon owners love watching their lizards, whether during a feeding frenzy while chasing crickets or simply interacting with each other.

Hypo Zero Bearded Dragon exhibit interesting behaviors, too, such as “arm waving,” in which a female (and occasionally males) may lift a front leg in the air and “wave” it as a submissive gesture. The spiny “beard” from which the lizard gets its common name may also be extended, though it’s uncommon for tame captives to do so; dragons typically do this when alarmed.

Captive-bred specimens are highly recommended because they are usually healthier and more acclimated to captivity than wild-caught animals. Various color morphs are available, too (though they’re more costly than “normal-colored” animals).
