I've seen many different colours and patterns on U. phantasticus.
What does it mean, if anything? Does it have to do with locality and the
shrubbery they hang out on? Or is it random? 'Random' doesn't sound
right...
I have a male that's earth tones with hints of purples and blacks, whose
colour darkened a bit as he matured.
A female that was rather bright red with bright green, lichen-like splotches
as a sub-adult, who is now more of a brick red with gray-green
splotches...who even seems to turn dusty pinkish at times...is that
maturation, or loss of colour through dietary change/deficiency?
My other 1.1 are coloured in identical, broad bands (with veins and
shadings) of rusty oranges and red-browns, which have not faded at all as
they've grown.
One other thing I've noticed, is that the males tend to have more fine
tracings of leaf-like veins on their skins, while the females are less
detailed...any ideas?
