Hi.......
It is defintily asiatica!
The are different types of asiatica........
I know 4 of them!
1. with white dots everywhere
2. with red and white dots (often seen in Japanese pages)
3 without any dots (yours)
4 with a red belly (from Vietnam)
if this is all Ch. asiatica.........only scientists can say!
But I do not thinks so.....
Maybe asiatica is a species complex,too!

The last pic you posted, definitely can see it's asiatica. Nice specimans, haven't seen asiaticas like that, ones without dots, as pallestopheles stated. Good pickup!
Hi........
Your temperature ist too high........
Switch off the heater!
Asiatica is subtropical ,lives in China and do not need high temps!
I have seen asiatica without dots at the Chatuchak market in Bangkok!
Cheers Pascal
