Description
This Red Hypo Bearded Dragon Baby Male (#82423-05) is a captive-bred reptile for the intermediate to advanced keeper looking for a specimen with exceptional color potential. The hypo gene reduces dark pigmentation, allowing the vibrant reds to shine through as the dragon matures. This male has been on our shelves since summer 2025 with a very low return rate, confirming customers get exactly the healthy, high-color animal they expect from our facility.
Stand-Out Features
- Vibrant Red Hypo Genetics: The hypo (hypomelanistic) trait minimizes black markings, resulting in a cleaner, brighter red and orange coloration that intensifies with age.
- Proven Health & Vigor: We start all our dragons on a varied diet of appropriately sized insects and greens. This animal is feeding consistently and displays excellent body condition.
- Captive-Bred & Handled: Bred in-house, this dragon is accustomed to human interaction, making it a more tractable pet for regular handling sessions.
- Male Sex Guarantee: Confirmed male, ideal for breeders or keepers preferring the typically larger size and more pronounced beard display of male bearded dragons.

Your Questions Answered
How red will this dragon get?
The base red color is already visible. The hypo gene will prevent most dark markings from developing, allowing the red and orange hues to become more saturated and clean with each shed. Maximum color is typically reached between 12-18 months of age with proper UVB lighting and nutrition.
What setup does a baby bearded dragon need?
A 40-gallon breeder tank is the minimum starting size, requiring a basking zone of 105-110°F, a cool side around 80°F, and a high-output UVB tube light spanning 2/3 of the enclosure. Substrate should be solid (tile, paper towel) for babies to prevent impaction risk.
Is this dragon handled often?
Yes. Our staff handles juveniles regularly for health checks and socialization. This animal is accustomed to human presence, which helps reduce stress during the transition to its new home. We recommend brief, daily handling sessions to maintain this temperament.
