Very good looking. I really hope you are ready for the size and amount of time they live for. You will have this pet for life and it will get huge!

Aww, he is so cute! Congrats! I second the request to see him eat, they are so cute when they eat. My friend has a Cherry-Head and it's just mesmerising to watch that little guy chow down.

What kind of UVB did you get for him? Has he been eating for you already?

i got a Powersun MVB, but it was broke when i got it home, right now i dont have one... b4 i get flamed, i have been dusting his collard greens with calsium supplement, i will get a new MVB either tomorrow, or Wednesday when they come in.

hes eating for me everyday, just a little bit of collard greens, hes pooped a few times as well, i really need to get some type of water dish in there. i have been dusting food with calsium supplement, adn misting it with water. so he gets water when he eats... so i hope im doing good!!
