Bearded dragons come in a variety of sizes and colours. This is done by carefully breeding two or more bearded dragons together with specific traits to produce bearded dragon with desired characteristics or genetic traits. Oftentimes bearded dragon breeders will use words to describe beardies they that many people don't understand.
Below you will find some examples. Colours can vary.

Normal - Produced by breeding two bearded dragons with different traits.
Hypo - Made from breeding two bearded dragons with hypo ( hypomelanism ) traits. Generally they're are lighter in color and have a sigificant reduction of dark colors in the skin, eyes, and nails. Their nails are clear.

Trans - Result of breeding two bearded dragons with translucent traits. Their skin appear to be slightly translucent/see-through. Trans have solid black eyes.

Hypo Trans - Hypo Trans is produced by a combination of a bearded dragon with hypomelanism and translucent skin. Hypo Trans lizards thus have transparent skin colors and you would have a hard time finding any dark colors there.

Het Hypo - Bearded dragons that carry the hypomelanism trait. If a het hypo produces offspring, some of the offspring may show the hypomelanism trait while others don't (this is largely depndant on the traits of bearded dragon which it was bred with).

Het Trans - Bearded dragons that carry the translucent trait, yet don't show it. When they produce offspring, some of the offspring may show the translucent trait, while others may not (this depends on the traits of the other bearded dragon which was mated).

Double Het - Bearded dragons that carry both the hypo and trans traits, but don't visually display them. They carry the gene when bred with other bearded dragons carrying the gene resulting in offspring showing the traits.

Hypo Het Trans - Bearded dragons that show the hypo ( hypomelanism) trait, and carry the translucent traits but do not show it.

Trans Het Hypo - Bearded dragons that show the translucent trait, and carry the hypo trait but don't show it.
