G. Rosea/porteri vs P. scrofa

[Tim Gibbons]

Hi guys, am I right in assuming that the best way to tell the diffence would be the hourglass pattern on the scrofas' abdomen and the chevron pattern of setae on the side of the abdomen? I have been sold what I was told to be a P. scrofa but looks more like a grammy to me. Looks way too big. I already have a smaller female P. scrofa and the new arrival looks all wrong compared to her. Damn, I was getting ready for breeding too.

First three G. rosea (whatever you want to call it, will await moult before I can tell exactly which colour form but looks like NCF to me), next three s/a P. scrofa female in pre moult, last image adult male P. scrofa showing hourglass patch.

Worked it out for myself. Was sold the G. rosea as a P. scrofa (purchased on Preloved). So obviously not and way too large. Anyway, she'll still get a good home and be well looked after. Has been bulldozing her enclosure the last few days. Great to watch.
