I need help figuring out what kind of Bearded Dragon I have?

I am currently getting a Bearded Dragon from a woman who can no longer care for it, and though I know my dragons, I'm not really certain which one this is.

She had gotten him from a pet store and so she really has no clue, so I thought I'd ask.

He's about 8 months old, 10-12 inches and definitely has ridges down his back, sides of his face and legs. His tail is about the only place smooth. His markings are red, gold and tan with slightly darker patches of brown swirled throughout his body. He's quite sweet and pretty gentle, though fast.

I thought maybe an Inland Bearded Dragon, but I wondered if someone could help me?

Thank you!

    most pet stores carry only inland beardies, as they are the most common. aside from the Rankin's dragons which only attain a length of just about a foot, dragon care is pretty consist ant for most of the pogona family. at that age he's a pretty good size and is a little bigger that what my inland was at that age. so my vote is most likely inland.

    There are seven species, of which the most common in the pet trade is the P. vitticeps, the inland or central (also called the yellow-headed) bearded dragon is the most widely available.

    could be inland but sounds a lot like pogona vitticep, hope this helps
