Central Bearded Dragon ‘zero’ (Pogona vitticeps)

The Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps) is a popular and charismatic lizard species native to the arid and semi-arid regions of central Australia. The “zero” morph is a selectively bred variety that displays a striking, patternless appearance with a pale, almost ghostly coloration—completely lacking the typical markings and pigments seen in wild-type dragons. Despite its unusual look, the zero morph shares the same behavior and biology as standard bearded dragons, including their omnivorous diet, thermoregulatory basking habits, and distinctive throat “beard” display used for communication and defense. Known for their calm temperament and strong interaction with humans, zero bearded dragons are highly sought after in the reptile pet trade for their unique aesthetic and gentle nature.
