Yep, he was an adult when I got him over 2 years ago. He was CBB in '98, so he's 8 years old now. I got him from Al Guetzkow @ NEWReptiles. I had actually been looking for an albino on Fauna but was a complete noob and had NO clue about the market and prices, and I almost fell for some international scam. Al swooped in, talked some sense into me, and offered me this guy. He held him for 2 months while I saved up the $150 for him (I was 19, on my own, having my paycheck eaten up by rent, car payments, and car insurance...lol!), then he drove him 2 hours down to Madison to bring him to me.

Honestly, it was a random thought and I had always thought Spoon would make a cool name for something...and since he was so curious and goofy, it fit. Misty is the girl I picked up to be his "woman" and I almost named her Fork...that way I could keep two of their babies and name them Fpoon and Spork. lol!
