I know they are from WWD, but how did she get that glowing color? Is it from trans, high reds/oranges, or citrus? Also what do y'all think is the most popular dragon morph; Citrus, oranges ,reds, trans, dunner, hypotrans, a mix or these, etc.?

=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Citrus, oranges, reds are colors, not morphs...
that wasnt really the point mistyck lol
They asked what the most popular dragon morph is, and I'm pointing out that those mentioned are not morphs, they are colors.
Plus why do you want new reptile owners to be confused and be calling colors morphs when they aren't? I sure don't want to have new owners uneducated.
So that's MY point.

What's the point of arguing? He was asking favorite morph. So what if he listed like 2 selective bred traits. Just asking what people like the best. How would you have put it?

color quality
Hey Owen, I'm not sure who was the first to name their dragon color coral, but I do remember way back over 10yrs ago Kevin Dunn came out with an extremely bright red line and it was called coral. Not sure if he developed it himself or started out buy buying the originals elsewhere. As far as how to make very colorful dragons, you have to pair reds with reds if you want reds. Not red to yellow or you end up with less red. after each batch is hatched you hold back 5 of the most colorful and weed them out as they grow and hold a few back each generation. You need to have multiple bloodlines and not in breed for the best success.
I started out with sandfires about 15yrs ago, added chris allen, kevin dunn, georgia beardies etc, and made my own colors a bit at a time. Nowadays it's easier to find bright dragons and start out colorful.
I find that a red translucent dragon is a more intense red usually because the skin is translucent and has a darker undertone. While the normals have a lot of white markings and the skin is a lighter shade underneath. Here is 2 pics as an example. 1st one is a red sandfire italian leatherback, while the 2nd one is a translucent it.leatherback. And if these were hypo, they would lose most or all dark pigments. Hope that helps! =)

It does Gina, Thanks! So this brings me to another question, in "color Dominance"... for example in human hair color brown is dominant, is one color more dominant than others in dragons? Like a white bred to a vibrant red or orange, and the babies where hypotrans for example does the white dominate, does it dilute the red, or does the white act like a blank canvas for the red or orange color to take over? Purples... do you have to have a purple gene (if there is one), or is it just a full trans to full trans pairing that produces it? And whites, to me the seem to be a "glorified" normal phase dragon. Sure there are those nice whites that have lavender markings and what not, but what is trying to be achieved, where can they take us in future dragon genetics? And I have notice that yellows don't really mix well with oranges or reds, the resulting color always seems..."normal".
