Pretty different,

coming from the SE Asian climate vs. the Northerly and cool Winter climates of horsefieldi. You might want to examine the climate where you live and assess if you should try elongateds or not. Like so many SE Asian imports, they may come with parasitic surprises etc. I occasionally see captive hatched for sale, you might want to consider them or LTC, fresh imorts are risky... Also, you wouldn't want to mix these two species.vic
