How can I really tell the difference in the babies? There is a gentleman selling two sri lankans but they are still tiny.
Unfortunately you can't. The only stable way of knowing is getting through reputable breeder that has some of the lineage that can from Sri Lanka years backs. Who is the breeder? There is just a handful of breeders that have pure Sri Lankan locale elegans.How can I really tell the difference in the babies? There is a gentleman selling two sri lankans but they are still tiny.
If they are indeed from Larry then those would be pure sir LankansIan Tomich. He is selling 2 babies incubated for females on Fauna.
Larry has some of the original sr Lankan lineages, but a lot of people can use his name or Bill Zovikians to sell them as Sri Lankan. Maybe he can get you photos of the adults. Either way they're cool.He states them as Larry Gaugler lineage. I am not super familiar with the lineages only what brief information I have read but I want to make sure I do not purchase something labeled as something different
Only if there adults. Sri Lankans get much larger.I read that you can tell (well sort of tell) their locale by their size. Could someone remind me of the sizes?
Yep pretty much. Same goes with leopards, Redfoots, Yellowfoots, hingebacks, Russians, almost every species to be honest. Not many people locale specific animals here. They just breed them and sell them.I have had people swear to me that females they have or are selling that are 8-9" are Indian. I am sure so many are mixed now a days that you can never know. People just label them as whatever lol. Had the same problem in the chameleon world.
I agreeI think breeding an Indian and Sri Lanken is acceptable after all they are the same species. I do see why one would want to breed pure lines of them. Breeding a leopard to a sulcata is a whole other story along with all the other hybrids out there. Again just my opinion.
