I believe that specimen is either from Porvoo (southern Finland) or Estonia.
Here are a few more berus from Laukaa in central Finland

Thanks for the info and the photo. Interesting, that striped pattern! Werre these captive-bred or wild-caught specimens? All from the same locality, or from a different one? Just curious.
Cheers,
Wolfgang

There is one cb specimen in the picture, that big reddish female. Rest of them are wild-caught. Those are collected different population but not so far away each other maybe 100km. Striped ones is from same place and there are more of them. We also noticed difference number of dorsal scalerows between ordinary and those striped ones.
