Hey everyone I ordered a mappa puffer (about 2 inch) and it arrived happy and healthy…….the only problem is I don’t think it’s a mappa…….looks like a Stars and Stripes puffer to me. (I currently own a 10 inch stars and strips puffer so I know what they look like) just wanted to know other people’s opinion before I call and try and get my money back since a mappa puffer is much more expensive than a Stars and Stripes.

Update: after doing some research I believe it’s a reticulated puffer which is very similar to a Stars and Stripes and much cheaper than a mappa…..I will be trying to get my money back
