I don't know if this will help but I found these pics and some info, I'll also post a link to the site so you have the full gist, whatever thay are hon their totally stunning best of luck in breeding em xxxxxxxxxx

In our experience, the I. of Pines forms get larger and are more variable than the mainland forms with lots of reds and greens. However, some of the mainland animals can be a beautiful pale pastel orange-red.

Do these guys fire up at night like the cresties, I've got a fantastic Rhac book that I read cover to cover, but can't remember if it said they fire up or not Embarassed

Don't take it as gospel but a quick read seems to say they change colour slightly with age but don't 'fire' like the Cresties, hopefully someone can confirm that cos I'd be quite interested to know for sure, apparently the Gargies can so maybe a Rhac collector can do a list of species that do or don't Smile

That's a good idea Emma, would be interesting to compare Very Happy

I'll have to consult the Rhac Bible again as well Laughing

I have a friend who breeds a few different Rhacs I'll see if I can find anything out from her, if I do I'll post it xxxx

well they do fire in a way but its not as dramatic as with the cresties. They just go lighten and darken their colour.
