Hi Kurtles,
It is all from higher mountains of South Palawan and Island, like
Balabac Island, Some possibly quadrasi and everetti, but some are really
confusing because of the colour variety, I think the colour variations will
be more than 500 variations. Differrent mountains differrent colour and
shape and size,
No the same colour of diffrrent place. Another places another colour,
specially colour combinations as you can see to my website and I still have
some with me not yet ready. I just have today I called it giant
amphidromus, its quite big and fat. 54mm the lenth and fat, its look like
amphidromus entobaptus but sure not the same, entobaptus from North Palawan
and this is from Southern Palawan. Even to dealer that I sale some of this:
they identified as quadrasi or maybe new species or sub-species. I don't
know.
Best Reards,
Tony
