I have this new red lobo now for ten days it has very little expansion so far I saw the one they had in my LFS this thing is over 6" of expansion this is my first lobo so I don't know no better.
Here is a picture of the red lobo.

Some varieties seem to expand a lot while other, like yours I think, don't.
Its looks healthy though.

yep, minimal expansion will be seen with your variey of lobo. As long as it stays nice and red you are fine,

Wow nice striking color there! As long as the skeleton isn't showing through.. the edges are usually a bit more puffy than the inside by the mouth- not the best picture but it definitely looks healthy from what i can tell

Some species are more frilly than others but yours looks nice- it may get a little bigger if you JUST got it but it may not if its fully acclimated already

Still the same no expansion at all so far.
