I picked up this boy at Doncaster show on Sunday, not sure who I bought him from but there were about 50 of them to choose from including normals, albinos, het albinos and extreme reds, a few were fussy feeders or had kinks, so I had to sift through a fair few before I set eyes upon this little guy!
So without further ado, here he is!















I think from now on I will feed him outside of his tub or put kitchen towel in there or something, as I don't want him to accidentally eat any aspen!
I also haven't though of any names for him yet, so any suggestions welcome! I did think of 'Digit' yesterday because he looks a bit like a thumb!!

Corn snakes, royals, a GTP, BRB, hoggie, 2 cresties and loads of frogs!

He's lovely, conrats.
Do you have any sort of theme with the names of your pets? It mighthelp to narrow the field a bit...
Also, I sincerely hope your thumb doesn't have red spots and a tongue!

Thanks everyone! Haha the only reason he reminds me of a thumb/finger is because he's the same thickness all the way down like a finger is! The day before I bought him I was holding another one and I said 'If I ever got one I'd call it The Thumb' lol, but I feel a bit mean calling him The Thumb or Thummy or something haha.
I quite like Digit, but I have a frog called Diglett and they sound a bit similar. No theme for names, I've got all sorts of random names like Akiko, Poppy, Duende, Icarus, stuff like that. so anything goes really!

LOL Phalange! It always reminds me of Phoebe from Friends! That's a cool idea with the state names :) I've still not named him yet! I just call him Hoggywog for the time being haha.
