Very nice,you found your centralians,and have a pretty pale looking specimen there to,ive seen the odd pale one,but never with the black washed out like that,especially the eye banding,very cool,be interesting to see if it gets paler with age

Are these wa imports?

Looks like pale one needs to put on some condition but looks in great health so shouldnt be an issue,look how long its tail is,be interesting to see what you can do color wise with possable offspring,hypo u think?

Be good to see these in natural light, without the flash, to see their true colours. Is that possible?

Yeah Joe helped acquire me some more for my colony in an attempt to get a successful captive breeding colony which i am very passionate about .the white one was an unexpected gem for me to purchase and hopefully breed with. keep an eye out for any results . now that it has shed again i am definitely leaning towards a hypo animal but who knows

Looks alot like those hypo sa easterns,where black fades right out

Its definatly not the norm,definatly keep us posted on the centralian project,hypos or not,theres so little info out there,im thinking of maybe a full cool down for mine this season,though may stick with just over night cooling and background temp cooling during the day,they seem to go stay in cool zone anyways

Nice pick up gary

Yeah richard will definitely keep you updated, i will record most things i do with these guys and if i can get my act together write up a keeping and breeding central blueys article. Will be intersting if i can get any to breed this season as i only recieved them nto long ago i am hopeing they will have settled quick enough but may take a season to let them adjust. I think the trick to breeding them initially will be numbers, of good healthy young adults.
