Paroedura

(Paroedura lohatsara)

galery

Description

P.lohatsara grow into their colors;as juveniles,they have brownish heads,black and white bands down their bodies,and a striped,orangey tail.As they mature,their coloration changes - the bands break up along their bodies,turning them into animals with a primarily light (yellowish) base color and black spotting.Oftentimes,the spotting will retain some semblance of striping,though it may tend to shift towards more lengthwise patterning.Adults of this species generally reach an approximate length of five to six inches.
