Thunderbolt Morph

Description:

The Thunderbolt morph is an electrifying bearded dragon variety recognized for its lightning-like streaks and bold contrast. It often features bright yellow, gold, or white flashes across a darker base, giving it an energetic and dramatic appearance. Its striking visual appeal makes it a centerpiece in any collection.

Genetics:

Thunderbolt is considered a designer morph, created through selective breeding to intensify bright, lightning-style patterning. The genetic makeup can vary depending on breeder lines, but the goal remains consistent — strong contrast and unique streak formation.

Special Requirements:

• Same care requirements as standard bearded dragons, with emphasis on correct lighting and temperatures to keep colors vibrant.
• During shed, patterns may temporarily appear muted — proper humidity levels help maintain clarity.
• Avoid pairing with overly pattern-suppressing morphs if you want to preserve the dramatic streak effect.
• Ensure strong bloodline diversity to maintain overall health and vigor.

Care Information:

• UVB: High-output T5 UVB lighting (10–12%) spanning most of the enclosure.
• Temperatures: Basking 38–42°C (adults) — 40–45°C for babies; cool zone ~26–28°C.
• Diet: Leafy greens, safe vegetables, and live insects such as crickets, roaches, and BSF larvae — all dusted with calcium and vitamins.
• Supplements: Juveniles — calcium 4–5×/week, multivitamin 1–2×/week; Adults — calcium 2–3×/week, multivitamin ~1×/week.
