I decided to get another red foot. I still need to make a few modifications to Domino's enclosure, but I'll be making the same adjustments to the enclosure for the new guy.

I'm thinking about naming him Phoenix, but I'm not sure yet.

He's so pretty and bright, when compared to Domino. He has much more red on the legs and a bright head. I normally like the more cream bodies, but there was something about the darkness of this guy. Plus, I like the circles on his scutes.

I will get better pictures with my camera tonight. This one was taken with my cell.

I like the coloration on him. Where did you get him?

Salty Reptiles. He was the only one like him. The other two, were more creamy, but still very red on the head and legs. I think the other two were older, as they were larger.

I am estimating the age at about 6 weeks, as he weighs a little less than Domino did at 6 weeks. He weighs 41.1 grams.

I got tons of pictures last night with the good camera, and his coloring was definitely on fire. I will be sure to post when I get them uploaded to the computer.
