Whiptail ID please

Post by Des »

Hi,
Bought 4 whiptails this week,imported as Pinocchio whiptails. Dont know where they originate from and the only information I came across on the net was the scientific name of Caelorinchus Mycterismus.No other information seems to be available.
Would be grateful if anyone can confirm the above ID and any further info eg origin,size,temp, breeding habits etc, would be gratefully received. A couple of pictures below.
