    It's not a wennerae...

    Gonodactylaceus graphurus I think.

    You can tell it isn't a wennerae because the meral spots are orange.

    Oh and his name is Snuggles.. Just for the fact that it is so sweet that when I come to see him, he whacks a rock, or the glass, or throws the cheato everywhere. This guy is amazing.
