Maybe, do you have any better pictures ?

No I haven't.. this isn't an animal of mine, but from someone else. We are a little bit in a dilemma of identifying a few species. For example mine melanosterna's which I have posted here also (they are only 50cm while they are allready over 3 years old) And an other one which was identified as a palearis. (a small sick animal)

When I compare my female with this little sick animal, I would say they are both the same species..

These two pictures I see as both the same species.. isn't it?

Looks like the same species to me. Many factors can cause slow or stunted growth. Some times species have alot of variance in size depending on origin. Good luck.

okay, One other question. I see them often in other tanks which have just a small amount of branches in it. So they are most of their time on the ground there. Mine do never come at the ground. If they do, it's only for a few seconds.
Will this happen also with my reptiles when they get older?
