This are mine 4 Deroplatys species.

truncata (top right) and trigonodera (left under)

Around the clock, from left above: desiccata, truncata, lobata and trigonodera

 
D. truncata are too cool. Do you find any notable differences (coloration, behavior, size, etc.) amongst the different Deroplatys?

 
just see for your self. On the first pic are 4 species, all adult females. They have different colours, different sizes (desiccat is the biggest, trigonodera the smallest) and they all have a different chield

Deroplatys trigonodera

Yeah, I wasn't sure though if all your D. desiccata were that color brown, all your D. trigonodera were beige, etc. Obviously your truncata have some different morphs, I was just curious about the others. I should have phrased the question a little better, sorry about that.

Either way the pictures are great! I love comparison photos like this, it really shows off their differences. Seeing 4 separate photos would not do them justice.

 
Thanks, I have some desiccata that are lighter in color than these, but they sub adult. If they are adult I will place some pictures of them.
