Folks here seem to appreciate this species on this forum. Its no indigo but would not trade it for one. A six foot red sulphureus that hopefully will shed out a brighter red. I have seen hundreds but nothing like this.

That's an incredible specimen, Dan.
I have seen some reddish coloration on a few from Surinam, but never one with an entirely red body.
Keep us updated, and I'm sure we would all love to see some post-shed photographs.

Yea, that ought to make some neat children with that solid green sulphureus I received weeks ago as I expect I will never see a red like this again?

Very nice Dan! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's shed out!
Didn't you think that green Pseustes was poecilonotus?

Yea, I forgot about that. I will nab a big female for this red male anyway to get things going perhaps in a year or two instead of waiting for a smaller specimen to reach breeding size.
