Ok after seing some pics that makes me think twice about this lil one being a chordatus id like an opinion on him/her

 

[Teal]

Looks like a P. murinus LCF ?

P. chordatus LCF don't have the orange tinge.

 

[Mvskokee]

thats what im thinking

 

[rasputin]

It is P. chordatus, and it's an LCF

• P. chordatus TCF: typical colour form
  Named after the colouration of the type. Coloured general grey/brown, Radial striae on the carapace with gold or silver sheen.
• P. chordatus LCF: light colour form
  Abdominal pattern similar to TCF. Coloured more pale grey/beige (similar to P. lugardi)
• P. chordatus DCF: dark colour form
  Colouration prominent darker than in P. chordatus TCF, partial total black without any abdominal pattern or radial striae on the carapace. Rarely seen - not in the hobby.
  The intenseness of the general colouration can vary depending on the moult-interval. Maybe the transitions between the different colouration variants are fluently and not stable.

Thanks for that man!

No problem

Those pics aren't accurate though... what they are calling the NCF in the top picture, is a DCF.

Not sayin' that can't be a P. chordatus... but just sayin', their information is off.

Doesn't negate the fact that my ID is correct

P.S. PLBTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

 

[Teal]

I have NO idea what your P.S. means LOL

But I still am not quite convinced.. the above T is more orange than I've seen in ANY P. chordatus lol

This is what it means: ;P

And what, pray tell, do you think it is? It can't be P. murinus because the markings are not right, it can't be P. lugardi because the markings are not right; but, it has the exact, correct, matching stripes of a P. chordatus ...::bzzt::... ...::bzzt::... ...:op::... ;P

 

[Teal]

It sure isn't a P. lugardi, you're right there.

The markings ARE right for P. murinus...

Stripes, not dots

edit: 4 pairs of stripes and two oblong markings. the farthest pair of stripes is going to be hard to see but clearly stripes and not dots. You just want to be a P. murinus at this point, huh?

 

[Teal]

Maybe it's a hybrid.

LOL

 

[rasputin]

LOL

That's preposterous and the thought makes me: :wall:

There's no reason why morons wouldn't accidentally do it... but I was joking, calm down
