Default Could these be Vittikins instead of Beardies??

Hi

I bought 2 Bearded Dragons from a local reptile supplier and they seem to have unique colour that I haven't seen on a beardie before - is it possible that these are Vittikins and if so what is the differences if any?





Thanks for your help...
Zoe

I would say 100% beardies, I used to breed similar coloured ones.

The markings are often more like that of rankins, plus rankins tend to have shorter stubbier tails and therefore vittikins have a shorter tail than that of a beardy, yours have extremely long tails and the markings of a true beardie.
