We just got this little fella but have no idea what he is.. he was hiding alongside the Royal when we went to buy him and my wife had to have him too.

The guy in the pet store and one of his stockists both thought Chocolate Zebra but were not too sure.

He has been shy so waited a few days to get this footage.

i've seen some 202's with nice yellow/orange colouring and not shy at all...

Well he does like to be under the driftwood and hang upside down under the slate I have going between 2 pieces of wood.
He did not however like the broccoli, non of them did :lol:

He is starting to come out more when the light is on but he is so small and fast very hard to film.

may be easier when he is a little bigger.
L002 and LDA01 youngsters are more alike I believe (but never seen one). but adults have slight differences - to do with face stripes and head shape etc.
to me your video look just like my babies, but then i suppose L002 may look like that too.
