and say you have a childreni not a spotted. The pattern is faded and a spotteds pattern
is more pronounced |

none of our childreni display this round scale that you are going on about and we have
quite a few breeding pairs to compare against, our maccies dont and once again we have quite a few pairs to compare against.

|  | Bendy! Sponsor | Join Date: Feb-07 Location: Brisbane Gender:  | | | | I just checked some of my A.childreni that were wild caught in Katherine - some of them have the small scale near the prefrontals, some of them don't. Therefore it is NOT a definitive identification tool.
