Do you know the actual difference between porteri and rosea? I read that porteri is the ncf and real rosea is the rcf but sometimes they're referred to as rosea rcf meaning the normal color rosea is the one that most have. And ive seen porteri (labeled that way at least) and it looked nothing like rosea, it was like brownish grey with no pink carapace or very hard to see at least.+1 g.rosea and a really pretty one at that!

It looks like its on pink sand,toss that and give it about 5 inches of dry coco or topsoil..
Thats so sad yeah me too but I read that the color morphs are different species. So I have no clue. The one most people have is sold as g rosea but then what is porteri? It's just confusing lol.Im not sure how long ot was abandoned for. I was told somewhere around 4 months. Sad i couldnt save any of the reptiles he had that passed because he was an idiot. Yeah common names suck.
The only thing i know is that there different color forms ones pink and ones red

I knew it looked different then my male roseaFor the record, that's a G. porteri, not a rosea.
And the debate goes on lol..it could very well be Porteri..For the record, that's a G. porteri, not a rosea.
The G. rosea NCF is G. porteri now, G. rosea RCF is G. rosea.Its a G. porteri...looks to be freshly molted.
