Papyrocranus afer

Is it normal that some don't have the spotted pattern, I just picked a 6-7" and it's all dark

Some are spotted and some aren't.Some people think that there are two species and the spotted one is a separate or sub species.My current afer didn't seem to have much spotting when I first got it but now they seem to be showing more and more.

Ok cool, he only cost $5.50 so whether it develops the spots or not it was a great deal

How much do they usually go for? This was the first one ive seen here.

Years ago they could be had for around thirty bucks but I have seen them for almost twice that lately...They are not commonly available.
