Bearded Dragon Translucent (Pogona vitticeps) – Solid Dark Eyes and Exotic Gummy Scale Appearance

Add a stunning, high-end genetic morph to your collection with the Translucent Bearded Dragon. Commonly referred to as "Trans," this remarkable morph is best known for its iconic solid black "bug" eyes and a unique reduction in white pigment, giving its scales a semi-translucent, slightly jelly-like appearance that amplifies underlying colors with amazing depth.

Key Features

• Signature Solid Dark Eyes: Features distinctive, deep black or dark blue irises that give the dragon an irresistible, captivating gaze.

• Semi-Translucent Skin Structure: Reduced white pigment allows deep reds, citrus yellows, and purples to shine through the skin with a smooth, glossy, or translucent sheen.

• Pastel & Purple Undertones: Juveniles often display vibrant translucent bellies and soft blue or purple side bars that develop into rich, glowing adult coloration.

• Gentle & Exceptionally Personable: Inherits the classic docile, curious, and friendly temperament of Pogona vitticeps. They love interacting with their owners and adapt easily to handling.

• Manageable Adult Size: Grows to a comfortable adult length of 18 to 24 inches (including tail), making them robust and easy to manage in a home setting.

• Omnivorous Diet: Feeds on a wholesome mix of daily live feeder insects (dubia roaches, crickets, silkworms) combined with fresh leafy salads (collard greens, mustard greens, squash, and bell peppers).

Essential Care & Enclosure Needs

To keep your Translucent Bearded Dragon healthy, active, and displaying its full color potential, a proper arid setup is essential:

• Spacious Housing: Adults require a minimum enclosure size of 4x2x2 feet (120 gallons) to provide sufficient space for roaming, climbing, and thermal regulation.

• Arid Thermal Gradient: Provide a focused basking spot of 100°F–105°F (38°C–40°C) for adults (up to 110°F/43°C for juveniles) alongside a cooler retreat around 75°F–85°F (24°C–29°C).

• High-Output Linear UVB: A linear T5 HO 10.0 or 12% Desert UVB tube light running parallel to the basking lamp is mandatory for calcium synthesis and metabolic health.

• Low Ambient Humidity: Maintain dry ambient humidity levels between 30% and 40% with proper ventilation to ensure optimal respiratory health.
