If my little guy Verdi looks like the average yellow baby and wasnt marked with a locale will he be solid green as an adult.

no way to know. Actually babies look different if you know what to look for. Let me explain. a biak baby is pretty easy to pick out of the bunch. The yellow or red color they have is just different then the others. They have an elongated narrow snout. Aru's are generally the soft yellow you see with a bull dog like smushed together head. Sorongs and jayapura's generally have a broken or full stripes sorongs have a head like an aru while jayapura's have one like a biak. I've been pretty successful using this along with a few other things to figure out locals of even c.b.b. specimens in which no one has told me what they are. I hit trouble when highland specimens come into play as I just don't have enough experience to be able to tell. Most of the time I'm right but then again it could just be luck? You be the judge.

Still they are all just Local "Types" untill locality info can be provided.
