Well he/she showed up today. Was alot smaller than I thought it would be so I put it in a 65 gallon container till it grows a bit. He/she is suppose to be between 1 and 1.5 months old. Is about 8-9 inches but has a belly on it though lol.
We were also having trouble thinking of a name the past week or so but he/she ended up naming itself. Here's what happened. I opended the over taped box he/she came in, removed packing paper, pulled out the styrofoam box that was over taped, removed more packing, then opened the little bag it was in and as soon as I opened the bag he/she shot up my arm, jumped off my shoulder on to the couch (I was sitting on it) and preceeded to run around the room and alude capture for 15 minutes. Soon as I caught it, I held he/she in my hand and looked into the cute little face and said " your name is Spaz"

Now the fun begins. I remember how surprised I was when Loofah arrived here at 3 weeks of age. He was just a smidgeon of a lizard.

Spaz is an appropriate name but not very complimentary. I think I would have called it Racer.

Thanks, I brought him a little collard, bean, & squash salad last night. He let me rub his throat and stroke his back. I made the mistake of touching the nape of his neck and he started doing laps around his enclosure lol. He ate pretty good so we doing okay.
