Are those both females? Yeah they are very clearly separate. Definitely not the same species or at least same color form if it looks like that's where SP "Brocklehursti" is going
Both females, both over 7" inches and and both practically the same size. This is as close as you can get for two different adult females two compare from one or the other.

As usual beautiful specimens. The top is the brocklehursti and the bottom is the genic?

Okay I wasn't sure, I couldn't remember which one had the more prominent banding. Been a while since this topic came up

Honestly should have guessed.
Brocklehursti = less prominent banding and colors = lower cost.
Should have pieced that together

Those two photos illustrate why I am so ga-ga over the species. For me the genic has a slight edge over brocklehursti, but they are both stunning.

Quite honestly most people do it I THINK because they see a perceived lower form of life taking out a higher form of life.

Personally, I think that there are so many varied types of food items to feed your Ts among outfits such as Aaron Pauling, Rainbow Mealworms, etc. that I see no real significant nutritional values over other prey items. I could see some justification or merit for example of feeding pinkies to gravid female Ts.
