These young have been produced from the original shipment of 5" Cherry-heads that were imported into the country in the mid-80s - making them 100% pure! Their parents carry the genetics for the ivory starring pattern, which begins to appear on some individual's carapace once they reach 3 inches. Adult size 10-13".
