It's not a sambava... When I'll have a little mmore time I'll show you evolution of one of the first CB picassos.... parents were bring from Madagascar bye Olaf pronk himself about 6 years ago.
i would not have considered any panther on the first two pages to be a picasso, i can understand why anyone would straight away dub them an ambilobe. Here is the interesting bit! i have a male picasso from the breeder that is supplying the thread starter. I should imagine he is from the same clutch. The UK picasso panthers i see are all bright orange, they seem to develop very much like a Sambava then when fully grown stay a fiery orange color even at rest, i have not seen this on a Sambava or Ambilobe, i dont want to get into a debate about the locale because i simply dont have the knowledge or experience to say locale they are, just dont seem like the above. Here is a picture of mine, i am vague on the age, i guess around 6weeks and im hoping it is a male. Sorry the right hand button on my mouse has broken! cant resize the image for the moment!
