After really thinking hard for about a year, I finally pulled the trigger on a new GTP for an early b-day (and Christmas now I'm informed) present. Thanks to Kevin Arbogast for his /crappy/ pictures that got me really wanting one in the first place. This one is #0904 from his Killer x Scarface and I couldn't believe he had any left. Someone buy the other one so I can't! Great communication and quality from animal to packaging. She shed the night I got her, just like he said she would soon. Here's a few shots I took to try to match his quality.

And a cool name story to go with it. I've already decided for her she is, in fact, female. While sanding the PVC to torch the perches, I was thinking I would have to come up with a name (usually the kids chore). as soon as I finished that thought, I rotated the pipe and saw this exact view:

I've never seen this brand of pipe before and my hand was covering the "pipe" part of the name.
So BLBC I introduce to you :wamma:'Charlotte' :wamma: (Charlie if she decides she's male ;))

Thanks again Kevin! I'll fire off a few questions later.

Bryan the pics look good and I am glad she had a smooth shed. I actually thought she had a couple more days before shedding but she looks good in that fresh skin. I will get back with you on the PM later this weekend, thanks again and enjoy your new chondro!

Oh... about the other one it looks like that one is about to find a new home as well.:yes:

Can't be a first unless there will be more!

I figured as much, but I've never seen it here in OK. The timing of turning it over just right was kinda funny.
