Beautiful animals!
My South Okinawa popei are still small juveniles and already they are eye popping.
It's also nice to see C. e ensicauda being kept for a change, I don't know of anyone keeping or breeding them over here at the moment.

Hi! I'm wondering is it really possible to tell the difference between C.e.e. and C.e.p just by appearance? I have two C.e males but I really can't be 100% sure if they are nominant or popei. They have almost black back and not any kind of spots. They both have blueish sheen on they tails in breeding season.
