An Escondido carpintis is a geographical varient of the normal carpintis, like Red Tiger Motaguense vs. standard Motaguense. They are the same species although they look different.

That's a Carpintis alright.

There are different variants. The most common I see are Escondido. Mine are 'Rio Tamuin'.


Here's my little growouts. (strictly for comparison and educational purposes lol) I think the Escondidos are known to be more colorful.

Sorry about the flash washout.
