both are in need of moults, after which he ought to mature, and i ought to be able to give breeding them a try.

Mori, would describe the behavior of your Lasiodorides polycuspulatus as schizophrenic? I know mine is.....

uhm, looks kinda striatus -ish?
If you are refering to mine, then no, it is a polycuspulatus. Those pics were taken right after its molt. It will get its blonde back.

hey randolph, dwayne is right. that is exactly what my(the one I traded to dave) polycuspulatus looked like after a molt. those colors don't last for long though.

Dwayne, yes I would describe the behaviour of MY L. polycuspulatus as schizophrenic; often seeing them go from pure calm, to all out running in a blink of an eye, often for no apparent reason. This may not be true of others, these are just my observations (have had this pair for 7+ months right now)

L. polycuspulatus

Sweet pics Dwayne.

Yes, this species can in fact show some very impressive color changes.

Below are pictures of my female Lasiodorides polycuspulatus at different points in the molt cycle.
