We brought him (?) home this evening. He's a pretty guy, even though he seems to still be getting ready to shed. It was hard for our daughter to come to grips with the fact that he needs to stay in his tank for the next few days to aclimate, but in a few weeks she won't know the difference.

She settled on the name Ekans for this one. Some of you may be young enough to catch the reference, and some of you may have kids who can explain it you.

Here's a pic:



He went straight for his hidey hole when he hit the cage, and as been curled up in there ever since, with one little venture out to sniff his water bowl. I'm sure he'll open up, though.
