Thanks redstrike! I am really glad with my decision too!

Glad to hear it! That orange head is beautiful! It will be interesting to see what it looks like as an adult. I'm sure it will maintain it's striking colors and patterns. John really does have some real lookers in that group of northern hatchlings.

His name is tommy, for now. If male Thomas. If a female Thomasia ( tom-i-sea-uh). My mom came up with the names. I asked what about a girl and she said her coworker is named Thomasia.

Great name choice(s)! I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not, but the hatchling you picked is of venezualan decent, his mom is the very first adult female I ever purchased. Her name is Sonny.

Here is the father of your hatchling also, Dudley.

Just wanted to show you even more of your hatchling in a different perspective. These pictures may also give you an idea of what your little one will look like in its adult years.
