He was skinny as heck and dehydrated to the point where He couldn't open His eyes.

Well, He's now up to eatting two prey items a day (Waxies or crickets) Drinking on his own and pooping normally. He has a belly now and The base of His tail is starting to get thicker then the tip (Was all the width of a tooth pick before). He's still so tiny I'm worried about breaking him! LOL But He's so vastly improved I'm amazed. Last saturday I didn't think He was gonna make it home. Now He struts around his home hunting on his own! Looks like I got another Leo! LOL I'm amazed how much of a fighter he is. Calling Him a Him but He's too young to tell now. He's no longer then My Pinky Finger and no wider then a pencil. He still has a LOT of wieght to get on and some serious growing to do before I'm happy. But I'm honestly amazed how tough these little guys are. I did get pics of Him a couple days ago but I have to use the film up before I can get it developed.... No Digi Camra.... Anyhow, Just wanted to update ya!! Sorry for babbling....

I'm glad for the update. I'm sure he'll do just fine now.

If it turns out to be a girl, you can always go with "Echo". Mine's "Echo" right now, but may become "Ecko" if necessary.

Good Luck with Ecko!
