ID this Clown?

[Azedenkae]

Hi guys, what's this:







What do you guys think?

 

[ocellaris123]

Skunk clown (A. akallopisos)

Thanks.

Anyone else have any input?

Not that I don't trust you, ocellaris123, just want to make absolutely sure.

I think it is an A. akallopisos as well, but it came in with an A. sandaracinos, so yeah. :/ I lost the last two A. akallopisos last time (spewing), and has been looking ever since. This came in the other day, but really want to doublecheck.

Note: It's wild caught.

A. sandaracinos are orange in color and their dorsal stripe runs all the way down to their lip.

The fact that the dorsal stripe ends well before the lip indicates A. akallopisos.

I agree.

Thanks guys, guess my belief is confirmed then! I did doublecheck today too and yeah, it has a white tail. Yayyyyyy!

The three important differentiation of the three skunk species are:
Is he pink or orange?
Does he have a cross bar?
Does the dorsal stripe reach the mouth or not?

All three point to Akallopiso
