Do you know around what age and size the female Lv gets its coloration?For Lv the males go Olive green at about 4”
some of it depends on gender. Pokies are sexually dimorphic and the males tend to be a little more subdued in their contrast. So if yours doesn't get too contrasty it may be a gentleman.My P regalis is about 4 inches or so and well it is showing the classic coloration. But just barely. I’m just wondering like how much longer until it’s complete color if that makes sense lol . Thank you by the way. I’ve been wondering this for these 2 T’s since even before I got them.
Thank you so much thats helpful. both of mine are confirmed Females thats why I'm wondering at what age or size till they Hit those colorations. lol I just can't wait to see those colors thats all hahasome of it depends on gender.

Not always true, while some may have more of a contrast or drab color than others, specimens may have variation and there is not a set way to truly tell until either Pen-ultimate or mature for males. The exception of sexually dimorphic will only apply to P. ornata.some of it depends on gender. Pokies are sexually dimorphic and the males tend to be a little more subdued in their contrast. So if yours doesn't get too contrasty it may be a gentleman.

Would assume the same size because before males turn, they have adult-like colors like females.Do you know around what age and size the female Lv gets its coloration?
My female is about 5 inches now and sports the electric blue legs and white carapace.For Lv the males go Olive green at about 4”
