A geniculata or V. Chromatus?
This was sold to me as an A. Geniculata. It was about 1/4” sling. Two years and several molts later, it’s still only about 1.5” and I’m thinking it’s maybe actually a V. chromatus? Any help with ID would be appreciated
 
I think I would agree with your assessment. Comparing yours to photos of each species that are similarly sized, it sure seems to match the chromatus better than the geniculata...
It happens, unfortunately - I was given a N. chromatus sling instead of the B. auratum I purchased, and when I bought an N. chromatus sling it turned out to actually be a G. pulchra. 😆
