33HKS Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Well i was thinking as such as that is the only colouration i have been able to find on the net. The reason i have asked is that i purchased 10 of these at about 3cm from an auction earlier in the year. As they coloured up i thought they were a bit different to what i had expected. I waited a while to see if it was just a juvenile stage of colour but they are at about 7cm now and are beautifully coloured. Only problem is that they are coloured like A. baenschi or A> stuartgranti maleri Here is a pic, sorry the yellow is washed out a bit, had to use a flash to get a clear photo.

33HKS Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Exactly what i thought, still can't find out who had them at the auction. I think they may have got their bags mixed up. Maybe there is someone out there who has bought a bag of baenschi and they have turned blue Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
