yeah i understand its just the fact that we ourselves strive to be good at what we do, we separate ourselves from the LPS on that strive. sell it to someone on the basis that we are not 100% with ID or do one of us take it home and just call it a day ;). the conundrum continues! come to think of it Jay, u dont own an pokeys hahaha

Sorry Ryan, but that isn't a formosa. The fovial pattern is too well defined and the dots and dashes in the leg banding is reduced in formosa. Here's a pic for comparison.
Lol it is a formosa I should know because I bred them myself. And he just molted would you like to see a picture? I will get one for you now.

And here he is after a molt. I might be really blind but that looks like a formosa to me! And it is a male.

He was in heavy premolt so the colors were faded pretty badly. But all his brothers and sisters look the same way right now.

As adults they don't look the same. But as slings yes I agree they look alike.

I know this isnt my thread and its a little off topic, but while we are talking about formosas and such, I was wondering why my formosa has a curve in its abdominal markings? do they sometimes have goofy variations of the markings they are supposed to have? here is a couple pics showing the c shaped curve in its abdominal marking.

they arent the most perfect pics but you can see what im talking about.

Ya I have that on a few of mine. It is not the typical pattern but it is still a formosa.

I really need to get one of those. A guy i met was selling me his. She was an adult already for 30 bucks. I didn't jump on it and now regret it.

Well My B.Boehemi molted again and has realy got some color with this molt!!! she is araound 3" and id just plain gorgeous....her orange has realy come out.


Female B.Boehemi:










My Male p.regalis molted again (this is the guy that tagged me!!). He gained some unbelievable size, he went from 4" to 5 1/2"!!! I looked in the container and couldn't believe how big he is.....I had no idea he was in pre-molt.....he ate 2 hrs before his molt. I will say one thing, looking at his folio stripe he doesn't look that maleish..but he is!!

Male P.regalis:
