This genetic stripe leatherback bearded dragon is a fantastically unique little morph of beardie!

Genetic stripe is a dominant mutation that causes a clear racing stripe on each side of the spine. The stripes run all the way from neck to tail, and can often be seen extending into the tail. Leatherback dragons have one row of spikes running down each side of their body, as well as spikes on their beard and head, but they have little to no spikes anywhere else on their body. Their back and tail have smooth, uniform scales, and their legs also have little to no spikes.

This combo gives a beautiful dragon with a smooth back and a racing stripe down the spine!

Giant African bullfrogs, also known as pixie frogs, with adult males weighing up to 1.4kg and growing almost 25cm! That's one of the largest frogs in the world!

These guys benefit from a semiaquatic setup when older, with a half land half water enclosure being ideal, or an XL water dish, as they love to hang around in water.

It's definitely not this albino axolotl's turn with the braincell...

These fabulous little amphibians have taken the world by storm, and you can definitely see why!

They require a fully aquatic setup, with care more similar to freshwater fish than a reptile, and love a diet of earthworms, bloodworm, and special axolotl pellets

Why not try Arcadia's aquatic amphibian diet, formulated for aquatic frogs, newts, and salamanders like the axolotl!
