    Oh MY!!!! he is gorgeous! Is he going to be at the door to greet the delivery person when the RC package comes? LoL. (could you imagine?)

    What species is this one again? I also do not recall if you named it. Something that cool looking needs a cool name :)

    I LOVE it. I tell ya, I see one of these in my future - the more i see and read about them on here the more i am intrigued!

    You got some nice pics - +K for the update!

    Thank you!! No, I still haven't named "it". I try every chance I get to see if it's male or female but am never successful. I'm terrible at naming things. It took me a month to name my dog haha

    It's a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis though.

    I just wish he wasn't quite as shy as he is..I have still yet to see him cruise around in front of the rocks..it's like playing whack-a-mole. But yeah..besides that they're awesome

    Mine scared the crap outta me last night..I was taking those pictures and was holding the camera right up to the glass..and when you halfway hold down the button a red light comes on on the front of the camera..as soon as that light came on he shot out and smacked the glass harder than I've ever seen him hit anything. I about fell off the bucket I was sitting on haha
