They look like a very pretty variety of L. morrowi, but then they are one of those species that looks cute when young, and then grows on you as they grow older by their character, but looks sort of falter a bit...;)

Matches picture #3 in the Cat-eLog pretty well.

What sort of size are these Nick? Very nice, but as Mats says, they even out in colour as they get bigger, unlike their cousins .

You can see that they aren't that big based on the hand they sit on - unless it's the hand of a child or giant, I'd expect about 2"/5cm give or take a bit.
