Broken or disrupted stripes/bands (vs clean Tiger stripes); more scattered pattern.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
Genetic Stripe is usually a Recessive gene, in Bearded Dragons it only takes one copy for the gene to appear however it is usually a lower expression or quality stripe.
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
Contrasting color stripe/flame down dorsal (or along head/dorsum); body/legs may be base color.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
Long dorsal stripe pattern mutation
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Solid color, no contrasting pattern (spots, stripes, etc.). May have color variations but no distinct pattern.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
Thin striped pattern mutation
Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express
A continuous stripe or rearranged patterning along the body.
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Reddish dorsal stripe influence
Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.
Longitudinal striping along dorsum
Recessive: Requires two copies to express
Pattern mutation producing clean lateral stripe
Dominant: Single gene sufficient to express
Vertical darker bands, often running over and down the sides (“tiger stripes”); variation in strength.
Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
