Ok so my guess will be L.parahybana or L.striatipes.
I'm so much confused differentiating these two species. I need 2nd or 3rd or 4th and so on opinions what species will be this beauty so that I can avoid crossbreeding.

I'd have to say LP, it looks identical to mine. How big?

My big girl, Evita, molted in February and is 8+ inches now. :)

Identifying between extremely similar-looking species from pictures alone is pretty inexact. If whoever sold you the T can't provide the species with certainty, I would recommend not breeding at all. Is there a publicly-available key this species? For the characteristic that don't require a microscope or dissection, you might be able to ID that way.

That said, I agree that it looks more like parahybana to me, but I've never seen a striatipes in person and cameras/lighting vary from photo to photo.
