been doing some home work on the different types of Avics. heres the different ones that pop up on a google search. Theres not a lot of info on most with out digging for a good bit on each one specifically. there seems to be a lot of debate on identifying wild caught avics. the biggest problem being when they are shipped to the united states they are normally labeled just as pink toes and then the importer/wholesaler looks through them and labels them based on his/her knowledge. so realistically most of us have no clue as to what we have. we just take it for granted that the person that sold it to use knows what they have.
