Koliba update

[King-eL]

Nice koliba bro. I still cannot tell Koliba from good wild speciman lapradei. I have both and would like to know how to tell if you know how.

It very easy to tell a Koliba from the Nigerian lap or Guinea lap, but it's hard to tell them apart from Koloton.

Nigerian lap have bigger eyes, snout are shorter and wider head. Patterns are also different from the Koliba. Koliba have more closely resemble the head shape of Guinea lap, but the Guinea lap patterns is very different.

Here how to tell them apart. The sample pics are not mine and they belong to CDM.

Time to get some from Toyin.

Planning to get a p. sp. "koloton"
as they look very similar, but I'm not sure what they look like on a red substrates. Maybe a p. sp. "dabola" if he still got some.
