Description
The Red Hypo Bearded Dragon Baby is a selectively bred reptile for the intermediate to advanced keeper seeking vibrant coloration and proven genetics. This morph combines the Hypomelanistic trait, which reduces dark pigment, with a rich red hue for a standout animal. We added this line to our catalog in late 2024 from a reliable breeder with consistently positive feedback. A recent customer return was due to an incompatible aftermarket enclosure, but the animal itself is healthy and thriving in standard setups.

Your Questions Answered
What does “Hypo” mean in bearded dragons?
Hypomelanistic, or “Hypo,” refers to a genetic trait that reduces the amount of black or dark brown pigment (melanin). This results in a cleaner, brighter appearance with fewer dark marks, allowing the base red or other colors to show more vividly.
What setup does this baby dragon need?
You will need a minimum 40-gallon breeder tank for a juvenile, upgrading as it grows. Essentials include a basking spot of 105-110°F, a UVB tube light spanning 2/3 of the enclosure, a cool side around 80°F, and proper substrate like reptile carpet or tile for babies.
