Weird colored Leucomelas
I bought this Leucomelas so I could try and make a group of them but this one is brownish red, my other one looks nothing like this, I thank it's a hybrid but not to sure it's been confusing me ever since I got it and I need help on it

Re: Weird colored Leucomelas
Hi Cory Cat Rebel,
The base color may differ slightly even within a species, and there are a couple of different C and CW numbers that are like leucomelas, but all leucomelas sold in pet stores are wild caught. To my knowledge, nobody is captive breeding them for retail.
For now I wouldn't worry about it. Let it settle in and watch its colors. They may change.
Cheers, Eric
