I reckon that's just your standard greyish/brownish G. rosea, such as I have:

The name is very confusing. In thebook it hadshown apicture of a g rosea in a threat position saying "in the gray phase if theydo this watch out" didn't know if they get skiddish or even aggresive in this phase | ||

Well, my "docile" G. rosea does not enjoy me putting my hand in its cage, barely tolerates being held, kicked hairs all over me and gave me a rash for a week, and pretty much assumed the threat position when I lowered a silver spoon into the enclosure! It really did not like that spoon. Black chopstick OK, silver spoon not OK. Very weird. PC |
