Green E. tiaratum

Just got 2 pairs of these yesterday. The green ones are in the northern part of the range.

is that an aussie sp?

 

[lychas]

it certainly is

Beautiful! Green ones are very rare in the hobby, but probably not in nature. Do you think it's their diet that makes them that beautiful green color?

 

[lychas]

from what i hear diet does play a role but i have never seen green ones in the hobby, actually these were my first, i'm sure if it was a simple as changing diet there would be other colors round. Also these are only found in the northern part of their range

The picture isn't working, but I've seen a [properly licensed facility] bug zoo that suddenly got lots of green morphs in their babies. It was kinda weird, but they're really pretty.

 

[lychas]

pic working now?

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Nope. But I looked at the source URL and navigated around your photobucket until I found it.

WOW. That's nothing like the green morphs I've seen before. The ones I saw were more like a mossy grey-green. Yours is beautiful!

Yea, up untill my mate showed me pics i had only seen the brown ones. I'm hoping this is genetic, strangely the males are brown so i'm learning towards a sex-linked mutation
