Bengkulu, Sumatra

I currently have 1.2 adults from this locality, and I thought I'd share a few photos in hopes that fellow puniceus-lovers would enjoy them.
The adults are 4 and 5 years of age, and so far I've only gotten one litter, which was born last year. That litter contained a bit of a treasure for me; She's got a stripe pretty much half-way down her back, which shifts sides at one point. And on the opposite side of the stripe is this checkerboard pattern. Neat Laughing

The male, which is a little bit darker in person. This is one of my all-time favorites, I love those colors.

This is the female which gave birth.

And this is the cool little bugger that I held back from the litter. I really like the pattern and can't wait how she looks as she matures and the colors intensify a bit more.

Nice!!! They almost make me want to get Trims again. I love all that red. Thanks for the pics.

Those are really nice Puniceus! I must post pics of my adults and some babies! I love Puniceus! And they are very variable!
Cheers

Thank you guys Very Happy

I'm glad you liked 'em.

Go ahead Gavin, post some pics. I'd like to see your individuals.

A little update on this one...

I recently traded in a two-year-old female of this locality, and I couldn't be happier with it. Very different from my orange females, so it's a welcomed addition to my puniceus collection.

Hope you enjoy Smile

Hi Dave!

Thanks a lot, I really love this species too.
Post pics of your pair once you get the chance, if it's not too much of a trouble.

All the best,
Christian

My pair is from Bengkulu too, but if you ever hear about T. puniceus from Sumatra, they are all from Bengkulu.

Nice animals, but that male is stunning Shocked

I had such kind of male before that has these nice yellow colors. The only difference of the former male that he had grey pattern.
But I lost this male in a strange way.
I bought two mices. One was for my Popeia fucata male, the other for this puniceus male. So I feeded the puniceus male and if you know these guys they never let anything go. Then I feeded the fucata male and he bit that mice and throw it away. After a lot of trying to gave him the mice (He was a good feeder) I gave up. Next day I found my beautyfull yellow guy dead in his cage with the mice in stomach. If I think about the reaction of the fucata male, with the mices were something wrong.
Very frustrated about the problem to find a real nice guy for my salmon colored girl, I ran through the venom room at the hamm show and I found this subadult guy at Roger Aeberhards table.

Gorgeous Sumatrans Jörg. Wonderful yellows on that male, wow. I bet those two would produce killer babies. Have you bred them yet?
I'm sorry to hear you lost the other male like that. Especially like that.
