Weighing in at a whopping 28 grams and 2 inches in length. All the way from sunny (although it's cloudy and cold right now but let's not talk about that) California... introducing... Richard Michael Jackson Jennifer Slowpez (kids come up with the weirdest names) "I'm grumpy cause you woke me from my nap" aka Pipsqueak.

Thank you all. I love my little buddy. My wife and kids keep poking fun at me because I'm up earlier than normal giving him a soak, making food, just watching... I just started working again so I installed cameras to cover all angles, just so I can watch him from work... I come home, set my stuff down and give him another soak, prep what foods he's going to get the next day, then if I'm not just sitting there watching him, I have the camera up on my phone.

I think you will probably find that he gets more and more interesting every day -certainly that was our experience with Zola, our Hermanns tortoise - and he is now nearly 26 years old, and still totally fascinating !
