Description
This is a captive-bred female Orange Hypo juvenile Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps). It’s for the keeper seeking a vibrant, established reptile with the hypo (hypomelanistic) gene for reduced dark pigment. This animal is feeding well and ready for its next home. We added this specific morph to our catalog in spring 2025 and source it from a reliable breeder with consistently positive feedback.
Stand-Out Features
- Confirmed Female: Sexed as female at this juvenile size.
- Hypomelanistic Trait: The “Hypo” gene reduces black markings, allowing the bright orange and yellow coloration to show more cleanly.
- Established Feeder: This juvenile is reliably eating a diet of appropriately sized insects and greens.
- Captive-Bred: Hatched in captivity, ensuring better health and temperament than wild-caught specimens.
- Excellent Coloration: Displays strong orange and yellow hues that will continue to develop with age.

Your Questions Answered
What does “Hypo” mean for a bearded dragon?
The hypomelanistic (hypo) gene reduces the amount of black pigment (melanin). This results in a cleaner, brighter appearance with fewer dark marks or bars, allowing the underlying orange and yellow colors to be more vivid. It is a stable, inherited genetic trait.
Is this dragon ready to ship?
Yes. This animal is healthy, feeding consistently, and has passed our health check. It is acclimated to captive conditions and ready for its new enclosure. We follow strict live animal shipping protocols and only ship on specific days to ensure safe arrival.
What setup does a juvenile bearded dragon need?
A juvenile requires a minimum 40-gallon breeder tank, though larger is better for growth. Essential equipment includes a basking zone (105-110°F), a UVB light covering 2/3 of the enclosure, a cooler zone (~80°F), and proper substrate (paper towel, tile, or reptile-safe liner). Provide a varied diet of insects and daily greens.
