AS the headline says... Are Candoia aspera polymorph?

Cheers & Merry Christmas

...but, all Candoia can be visually sexed by presence or lack of spurs. Males have them. Females do not.

Hi

Thanks for your reply, but I think you may have misunderstood my question.
I was asking about polymorphism and not dimorphism

I just heard from Jerry Conway that all Candoias are polymorphic as well as a swedish guy breeding Red x Red but got a mix of different colors, which indicates they are.

Merry Christmas

You are right, I did read that as sexually dimorphic!

Sorry!
To answer your question properly, yes Candoia asper are polymorphic.
