If we determine that color is mostly influenced by genetics, then we should get majusculas like that to mate over and over and try to get brown ones.

 
I had one this colour too. He's losing it and turning more green, but is still mostly yellow than green. My other 2 are the standard greens of majuscula

 
Looks like a subadult to me. Beautiful specimen. How long after the last molt is this?
