Which one what? Which is better? I personally think that the ornates are prettier.

It also depnds upon your budget. Concentrics are a bit cheaper and more readily available as CB offspring. Concentrics are quite variable in appearnace. Some are very striking, with lots of pearl gray on the shell and dramatic concentric rings. Others are more of a drab gray in color. With a juvenile it won't be completely apparent at first. Ornates are more predictable. Personally, I like a very colorfl centrata more tha an ornata, having had both.
