Green Faly VS Blue Faly

hello all,

Just wondering if anyone knows what are the geographic barriers between green and blue?

or how far apart in general do diff locales of pardalis keep themselves?
 
If they are anything like Nosy Bes, green means they were recently imported. They turn blue over time in captivity.
 
Selective breeding.
From what I've seen, the ones in the wild tend to be more torquoise blue-green and have more red dots than some of the bred to be predominantly blue ones offered for sale in captivity.
 
I feel it is different parts of the island, or just selectively picked from the trees (good exporter). Many times color change to a degree in nosy bes...many come in aqua and turn more blue over time...I feel it is our feeding, lack of natural sun, and supplementation that may result in more of a blue color. Also, in Nosy Bes many times they will have orange around their eyes that end up red after a few months in captivity.

so there is enough of a natural barrier ( at least with this morph ) to prevent mixing females

what about during holding, export import. what are the chances the females are actually collected as the right locale, but more importantly chances that they are maintained as the right locale

and what about for other locales that have many variations and dont have as much division?
 
There are no such things as natural barrier on the Island of Nosy faly. The Island is so small and im sure some of the animals are from the nearby islands, like nosy be ect. and they are brought by local people.

No, they dont turn more blue after a period of time in captivity, but yes green locales can get more blue after a period of time as the mature, but this has nothing to do with captivity and yes selective breeding is the biggest reason why we see so blue locales.

I was surprised to see the big variations in the same locales.

There are very few F1 falys in the US so I would say It's not from selective breeding but more like selective importing.:)
