Chris's Blue Corucia-Papua New Guinea Origin?

Chris's Blue Corucia looks like 4 Corucia recently acquired by the combined resources of locations LEE/1 and LEE/2. They are quite different in several aspects to the Corucia that have been coming in in recent years. I'm wondering if they might have come in from Papua New Guinea via West Irian and who knows what direction from there. There is also much yellow in addition to the blue which may give credence to this theory.

Oh, By the way, We paid $200 each for the 4. They were medicated and are doing fine. They were so good natured, We kept the Circulus of the 4 intact in one enclosure. Very Beautiful Phenotype if one hasn't seen the full animal.

Hi Brian,

Have you checked head scales yet to see if they are Corucia zebrata alfredschmidti?

I for one will be looking forward to that future info with your paper.

Later,
Jean

Hi Jean,

I want to check the head scalation very much. It is a major task that I have been trying to find the time to do with all the SFCRC Corucia.

I will be happy to share any info with you when the time comes.

Sincerely,
Brian
