If Davus pentaloris isn’t quite scratching the itch for smaller, tiger striped species, then maybe this one will! Davus sp. ‘Panama’ is a fascinatingly patterned species of the Davus genus that looks almost like a magma spirit controlling a stone body. With a bright orange ring around the solid black carapace, and bright orange femurs before black forelegs, it's not hard to picture it when one sees a photo of this beautiful species.
Like its name suggests, this species comes from the country of Panama, seemingly central Panama. Females can get 3-4 inches, and slings start out with adult coloration just barely visible on their tiny bodies. This species is an orange gem of the hobby that you’ll adore seeing wandering out and about in their enclosure!
