WC vs CB Delhezi

[Nemesis]

I have never owned a delhezi before, and have seen members here tell whether a delhezi is wc or cb just by looking at them. What is the differnce in appearance? Pics would be great for reference. Thanks

Whatever you do dont get tank raised-little to no markings-very dull. The wild caught are much more appealling to the eye.

So are all cb dull?

The CB typically have a more spotty pattern than the WC with the black solid bars. I wouldn't say all CB are dull, I have seen some cool "spotty" CB delhezis. But if you like the way they look, than get them

Not all cb are bad in coloration mine is cb and have recieved many comments on him for his coloration. But, if you really want a delhezi and can choose between the cb and wc go for the wc.

WC have bold long stripes and CB may have little stripes or sum spotted pattern

Agreed. I prefer the look of wc delhezis while my fiance generally prefers the look of the cb dels. Its all personal preference. Plus there's something to be said for buying cb and knowing that you're not impacting the wild population imo

Also, if you look at the head profile, a CB is very similar to a Senegal where the snout is very rounded. In a WC, the snout is more pointed.

Here are my guys...also want to put out that it seems (to me anyways) that the CB has more of a greenish coloration and the WC have more of a grayish coloration.
