i was told these were pygmy marbles-i lost 3 to an escape and 1 died after 2 years for ??? reason, so what i have here is one -i presume- female. she is about 3 years old and 4 inches long. she appears to have green on a black background.

Judging from the side shot, she has a white belly. From what I've read, that would indicate she is pygmaeus. But my marmortus have white bellies too, and Serge (who is probably knows about as much as anyone on this site about marmortus) has indicated there's regionally a nominate form with a white belly that comes from the Iberian peninsula. Maybe Serge can give us some input. Any chance of a belly shot?
 
I think these are T.marmoratus from possibly a spanish/portuguese origin.
 
I would definately say....is that she is a pygmaeus. The slender and long head, the coloration and total shape of the animal. Origin somewhere from from Andalusia (south Spain). She looks like animals I had from north Huelva and F1 and F2 I have changed and sold in 1995 and 1996 with several persons in Europe. But there have been many more bred by several other European breeders.
 
Sorry

, i just read this thread again and noticed that i had wrote T.marmoratus, when i meant to write T.pygmaeus.

Do you have any pics of there set-up?
