I recently got two 25-30cm Melaniae. One does however look very different. Im thinking it could be a hybrid, a special local variant or an undescribed species. What do you think? I have never seen a PB with the head coloration of this one before..

Agreed. Nicest ones that I've seen. Sadly the dude hasn't been on in a while. I would love to see an update myself.

I know top piece is Kelberi, right piece is azul. Any idea what's the one at the bottom? Was bought as Azul but I'm thinking Temensis? However it exhibits some of Azul traits as well..
