Picked up this fella up today. It was between this or an Ornate. But the ornates were only 4" and they wanted $30. So i chose this 7" monster for $40. Did i get a good deal? Can someone id for me? Sorry for the poor camera pics. Thanks.

Endy
 
its a very healthy and happy looking endlicheri. delhezis are upper jaw species and endlicheris are lower jaws. i like dels and endlis way better than ornates. just my opinion.

EDIT: here is a endy:

and here is a del:

you can see that with the endy (a lower jaw species) the lower jaw potrudes out farther then the uper jaw.

but with the del (an upper jaw species) has his upper jaw potruding farther out than the lower jaw.
