Terry,

Maybe, in true, i have very limited possibilities for working with chinese diones. I have several specimns from East China and several from Central China (Xian). Now i can say only that its look different.

My nigritas origin from Northern Osetia (Northern Kaukasus). Yes, i bred them from 2004 year, this is not easy because hatchlings have some problems with digestion (they are lizards eaters in nature) and not many grow to adults.
