This guy just shed yesterday. Lazarus (genetic stripe BRB). So named because he came back from the dead. For those that don't remember or connect the dots (or read the rainbow forum). There was some shipping confusion with Delta. The shipper though he was supposed to arrive 11PM the same day when the flight was actually an 11AM flight. Because of timing that meant it would overnight in Atlanta. When the package arrived this guy and his sister were both totally cold, belly up, limp and lifeless. Thought they were dead. After a fairly long time cupping them in my hands they both twitched and eventually took a breath. All in all it took them over a half hour to move at all and close to an hour before they were moving somewhat normally. The sister (not pictured) is a pos het normal...
