Hey, yes I have Aussies and another member that pops in here and there is also from Australia (@Renroc).


Aussies commonly come in shades of white, tans and browns. I've in the past see Aussies in the shades of greens, reds and blues (like a periwinkle), but usually these colours change in subsequent moults and not permanent IMO.
