Hypo Morph

Description:

Hypo morphs are characterized by their reduced melanin pigmentation, resulting in brighter and cleaner coloration with fewer black markings. This makes them visually striking and popular among breeders and collectors.

Genetics:

The Hypo gene is recessive, requiring both parents to carry and pass on the gene for offspring to visually express the hypo trait.

Special Requirements:

• Standard bearded dragon care with emphasis on UVB exposure to support their lighter skin.
• Monitor for skin health especially during shedding, as hypo dragons can be more sensitive.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight to prevent skin damage.

Care Information:

• Provide high-output T5 UVB lighting (10–12%) for most of the enclosure.
• Basking temperature between 38–42°C for adults and 40–45°C for babies.
• Diet includes leafy greens, vegetables, and protein-rich insects dusted with calcium and vitamins.
• Calcium and multivitamin supplements as per age requirements.
