Meet Achades
My Christmas came early and I got my BRB from Cliff at Living Gems this morning. He was overnighted from California and I spent every half hour refreshing my FedEx tracking number until he made it on the delivery truck. Then I may have spent every ten minutes opening my front door in case I missed hearing them knock on the door...
Meet Achades! Named for a river that is known for producing Agate and Chalcedony, I thought it was a fitting name for him. I took a few pictures before placing his cup in his new home, he was active and not nippy at all (luckily for my fingers).

Re: Meet Achades
Thank you, Kera! I'm so tickled pink and excited to hold him but I'm making myself wait until he's had at least one meal and a week or so to settle in.

Re: Meet Achades
He's so cute! I'd be too tempted to hold him all the time.  I bet he just shines with that iridescence of his. Congrats!

Re: Meet Achades
Amazing dorsal linkage! I haven't seen any BRBs with that much linkage before!

Re: Meet Achades
That definitely looked like one of Cliff's babies, I suspected even before you mentioned him. I can't think of a better source to get a Brazilian from! Congratulations!

Re: Meet Achades
Thank you guys so much! He's from litter A, baby #20. I'm hoping to pull him out next week for better pictures, these just don't do him justice.
