Whalbergii, the colours are more whitish and its sort of hard to explain while ocealata are different, get a picture of the shield for a more accurate ID

Ok this is the best picture I have of one of their sheild's.

Here is one of them at pre sub adult.

Hmmm, hate to be awkward but i cant see :lol:

If the shield is wider than it is long then its whalbergii, if its like a diamond shape, its the occealtata-thingys

I've had/have both whalbergii and ocellata. Your female is a P. whalbergii. B)

I'll see if I can get anymore pics on thursday of its shield just to be sure. Thanks for the help guys.

You shouldn't use color to try to determine the diff between the two. I can show you pics of one of my P. O, which is very white. Yes, it is Walhbergii. (From the spikes, shield, and pronotrum.)

Ok i've got some pictures of her back.

And one side view if that helps.

The shield is wider than the head... doesnt that mean it is a Wahlbergi
