I think you and I have different perception. There's a difference between candoia carinata-carinata from ambon island with candoia paulsoni tasmai. Yes some of carinata2 ambon island have the same pattern with paulsoni tasmai, a zig-zag pattern, but they're different. Paulsoni tasmai is larger than carinata-carinata.



Carinata2 ambon island usually has a cream color. And what I posted in here, they're all carinata2, not paulsoni tasmai.



Carinata2 alone has lots of localities. Here some localities that I've known and have seen: Jayapura, Waigeo, Kofiau, Ambon. So far those are the localities that I've seen with my own eyes in here. I'm sure there are lots of carinata2 from different localites that I didnt mention above, but those are the ones that I've never seen it.



About your isabella never changed color, I never have a chance to know about Isabella. So I dont have a clue But My carinata2 from Ambon island, surely changed color into darker. But rite now she's getting brighter than before because I change the environment :D



Usually Paulsoni Tasmai can have an extreme color changing after shedding. it's because their scales are thick so they keep lots of mud from the nature. So when u have one then it sheds at ur place, there's a possibility that it's gonna have a brighter color.
