How to tell if it's a mix

[Grayson]

With northerens will they have solid banding on their back or can it be broken bands ? I will post pics later when I get home of him I know he is northern but I dont think he is pure because of the broken bands but has the orange on the side and the salt and pepper tail colors he also has some black on the side like orange blotch and then some black blotch then orange Amd the black by his eye like eye black

Northerns often have broken bands, the description you give sounds like a Northern.

Usually anything mixed with an IJ will look mostly like an IJ (makes it hard to tell pure IJs). A northern could possibly be mixed with an Eastern without big differences, but Easterns are rare in the USA so not really worth worrying about. Any other mix would likely be very obvious.

Pictures are the way to get a real ID.

Ok cool I will post them I'n a hour or so it looks to be pure and I hope it is because he is beuteyfull. Other thing what species of bts get the largest ?

If I can't post them could I email them to someone to post form me

northerns have the most mass, merauke's are the longest but usually more slender.

Ok is it normal for him when you first pick them up to puff up And hiss? He truly is one of the best looking northerns I have ever seen his orange and black markings are crazy

ya, hes probably just scared

Ok is Eco earth a safe substrate? I will get some pics of him asleep I'n a towl I'n my chest

[Grayson]

Also are egg shells dangerous ?

[Fatal_S]

Eco earth is fine, but can be very dusty if it gets dry.

Egg shells are fine, though I do crush mine up before I add them to food. They're a great source of calcium.

Did they work

[Fatal_S]

Yup, that's a Northern

[Grayson]

Ok cool is that typical colors

[Fatal_S]

Yup. The yellow orange can range from extremely pale yellow to an almost neon colour to red-orange that looks like it's on fire. The size of the dark areas also varies a lot, as does the amount of speckling. There's no one thing that's better looking, everyone has different things they love. I'm often getting compliments on my very bold coloured Northerns (lots of dark and very rich orange/yellow/red sides) but I'm completely smitten by my new very light coloured babies I traded Pink T. Monkey for. The variety is awesome

[Grayson]

Ok I love him even though it's olny been three days they grow on you fast I have a Leo but he wolnt sleep on your shoulder or chest and wolnt follow me around my room. His mites are still there but since treatment its ALOT better than before and his colors are much bolder now
