[QUOTE="dianama, post: 196396, member: 37363"] Hi, I'm a relatively new T hobbyist. I've owned one B. Hamorii for a very short time before it ended up dying. I was a mess afterwards and my boyfriend decided to surprise me with what he thought was another B. Hamorii. It's been a few months since then, it molted twice and it became clear (as you can see from the picture) it isn't one. It's about 1.5-2 years old and about 4.5 inches long. I say "about" because it's a bit skittish and I'm too much of a beginner to trust myself in handling it for measuring without hurting it, or having it hurt itself. Last time I tried, it got too scared - and even pooped on me - so I never did it again. Opinions are split between G. Rosea and L parahybana. What do you think? It also likes to hang out on top of its hide spot a lot, could it be an arboreal species? I just don't want to treat it like a Hamorii when it isn't one, and I'd appreciate your help! Thanks.
