I've seen the pictures of them on Google. They look like little Aimara for sure. Mine has markings on it like those just not as bold. I haven't done much research on the amapa. I guess I just assumed that they were pictures of smaller Aimara. Got something to study up on while all the snow melts now anyway.

Pattern is visible on juvies, but adults look just like VZ variants...... My bigger Amapa (1.5') is jet black.

Over here Amapa usually run more $ cause they aren't near as common as VZ.....
