Just wanted to see people's pictures of their P murinus UMV. I find them difficult to find pictures of. For some reason nothing came up when I tried searching

You are the best. Tried to find a thread like this and my search function wouldn't pull up anything (it was having a moment). Thank you for this! Now I see the differences that I was curious about.

I have the RCF, but as far as I know (which ain’t a whole lot) the only real difference is it has redder area on the trochanter/femur area on the legs. I’m probably wrong though. It was hard for me to tell the difference between the two when deciding.

I've seen OCF and RCF. The RCF is a darker, more robust orange. The OCF is a lighter orange, a little more pale compared to RCF. They're both orange, but the RCF doesn't lose as much color for an upcoming molt. They're both UMV, but I believe the RCF is just a line that is bred from the darker oranges.

@Tarantuland I could be wrong though. But doing some digging that's what I've read. I've seen pictures of the lighter orange vs. the darker orange, but can't find any at the moment as the OP is right, most pictures are of the RCF. I think that's what most people want. :)
