Zero
🔎 Quick Summary (Customer-Friendly)
The Zero morph is the ultimate patternless and colourless morph in bearded dragons. These dragons are completely white or silver-grey with no pattern, no barring, and no visible colour — the closest thing to a “blank canvas” in the reptile world. Zeros are striking for their ghostly, clean look and are considered one of the most sought-after morphs worldwide.
📸 Visual Traits & Identifiers
- Entirely patternless, no stripes, barring, or tail rings
- Base colour: pure white, silver, or soft grey
- Black eyes if Trans, clear nails if Hypo Zero
- Some may show very subtle ghost shading as hatchlings, which fades with age
- Clean, icy appearance that stands out from every other morph
🧬 Genetic Behaviour & Inheritance
- Genetic Type: Simple Recessive
- Both parents must carry the Zero gene for it to express
- Visual Zero = inherits two Zero genes
- Het Zero = carrier, looks completely normal
- Pairing ratios:
- Het × Het = 25% Zero
- Visual × Het = 50% Zero
- Visual × Visual = 100% Zero
🧪 Why Breeders Use It
The Zero morph is the foundation for creating ghost morphs and other clean, designer lines. Breeders value it for its patternless consistency and its ability to stack beautifully with Hypo and Trans. Zeros are also prized for display-quality reptiles due to their pure and surreal appearance.
🔁 Popular Morph Pairings
- Zero × Hypo → Hypo Zeros: pale, clear-toned, icy morphs
- Zero × Trans → Trans Zeros: ghost-white with black eyes
- Zero × Hypo Trans → Ultra-clean, pastel-toned ghost dragons
- Zero × Red Devil → Creates red het Zeros for future ghost-red projects
- Zero × Witblit → Used in Paradox projects
⚠️ Important Notes
- Do not confuse Zeros with Witblits. Zeros are pure white/grey with no earthy tones, while Witblits are dark, earthy, and heavy-bodied
- Hets look completely normal — the gene only shows visually in double copies
- Zero clutches are highly desirable and often sold quickly, especially Hypo Trans Zeros
💡 Fun Fact
Zeros were first established in Europe and are considered one of the most important building block morphs in advanced breeding programs.
✅ Best Uses in Breeding Programs
- To create ghost morphs with Hypo and Trans
- To maintain clean, patternless designer lines
- As a foundation morph for high-end projects like Paradox
🔚 Final Word
The Zero morph is one of the cleanest, most powerful genes in the bearded dragon world. It is a must-have for any breeder aiming to create ghostlike, pure, and patternless dragons that stand apart from the rest.
