Caribena Versicolor

Caribena Versicolor 0,1
Love to see that properly exposed, seems to be a red variant
I actually have a question for you Viper since you know a lot about Versicolors. I got this girl in October of 2022 as a juvenile with her adult colors, she molted either a couple weeks or a month or two after I got her. She made a phantom egg sac around July of 2023 indicating she is sexually mature. She's around 3½, maybe closing in on four inches of leg span and hasn't molted since she last did. My question is if some Versicolors reach their adult size around those 3-4 inches of leg span, since I thought most Versicolors got to around 5-6 inches of leg span.

I also didn't know there were different color variants of Versicolor, so that's cool to know!

Versi are on the smaller side actually. 4-5" for AFs.

Yep there's a red morph. There are quite a few of them in the Philippines. Someone posted it not long ago. Rick West shot one in the the wild. Gorgeous looking. In captivity I've noticed a slight change in them over the course of decades at times. Going from more red, to a bit more blue/purple. Why how I don't know. But the red variant is impressive.

Just because she is mature enough to reproduce doesn't mean that she is done growing. Sexual maturity does not necessarily equal full grown.
