Xenesthis immanis querie?

[SylviRigden]

My sub adult male is really pale, has anyone else seen them this colour?

What was the humidity prior to the last moult?

I don't know exactly the humidity Ray. I'll stick a temp/humidity thermometer in when I go upstairs in a mo. He is kept in the spider/snake room which is 25c - 26c, sometimes 27c. He has always been kept dry with a water bowl at one end which has been overflowed. He has always been this colour, but my adult female is normal coloured. She is kept the same as him, but hasn't molted yet with me. I've had him from a sling.

Ray, Well I said she is kept the same as him, but after playing with the thermometer/hydometer for a few days there is an obvious difference I overlooked. He has been kept in a plastic pet kritter-keeper, and she is in a 35ltr rub. His kk must have been about 60 - 75% humidity, and I recon the rub must be as high as 91%. She has had a successful egg sac this year pulled at 6 weeks. He is now in a rub as he is so big now, and is at the higher humidity so I'll see what he is like after a molt.

I was concerned about his colour as I want to use him for breeding, I even wondered if he was an immanis.
