I was thinking of getting some a while ago but the high price coupled with the fact that I heard they lose the attractive juvenile markings almost completly as adults made me pass on them. I have never seen them in real life however.

Hi!

I doubt it only grow up to 20cm!!
I assume these would at least grow to 30cm and could possibly reach 40 something cm...

Cheers

they remind me of A. adonis?

even if they lose a lot of the white markings, wouldnt they still be a nice deep black, still attractive

Hi!

When full grown they lost their attractive colouration...

It is more black/greyish overall body colour than deep black...

Cheers

A lot of difference between the small ones and the adult ones. The small ones look so much nicer with their colouration imo.

Where are these for sale in the US? I'm dying to know ... been looking for one for quite some time now.
