There are a lot of different variations of the Greens out there already, have seen a few similar to Lily's now, each to there own, I definately prefer solid green though like GM, but still its GTP and we all want one! |

By the way, she shed a week ago and it made a HUGE difference to the amount of green on her. You wouldn't recognise her now! |

Yes I'm not quite sure how a common colour change has become an American morph

They simply loose yellow and replace it with green. I'll happily be corrected on this point, but Id prefer to know that some GTP morphs are around.

You are correct Codered from my understanding too, but there are different locales in Australia, there is the Australian Form (of which there are buggerall left in captivity) Tim having 1 of those, Aru, Merauke, and Biak all southern types. Which have different colours and end results, not sure how many of those types are here but at least a couple. |

My point is that they aren't an American morph, it is just a normal colour change.

I didn't think Aussies did mite phase either but I long ago drew the conclusion that what chondros there were in Australia were such a blend of the various types that anything could happen during/after a change. Plus, did anyone say "red baby"?
Like you, CodeRed, my interest is with the morphs.  (But not those yukky mustard ones!) |

CodeRed, I have no idea if Australian GTP's go through that stage, apparently not by the sounds of it.
I'm just not sure why it became an issue of Australian GTP's as opposed to any other ?

Well I am glad that there are some colour varieties around. Not everyone likes the morphs, but I think they look great, much nicer than the common greens.

In fact I was hoping to find some of these varieties My initial statement was supposed to be funny .. you know smugglers getting overtime and all. Next time I'll use lot and lots of smiles

Please keep posting up pics of the colour change, will be very interested to see how it turns out. Wonder if those scales will remain dark green over a lighter green?
And you're right, there's so much of blend in greens in Australia, some claim to have the real pure thing, but the water's have definately been muddied with most of them. | | |
