Wow didnt think this post would get 3 pages long but i guess the kid traded 2 geckos in for a beardie from what the dude told me. that was great with the 09 model lol. im pretty happy with him hes easly aggitated tho which tells me the kid prob didnt handle him or something but im letting him be for the week he has eaten some mealies wax worms and crickets so im pretty stoked with him. he does have the stripe from what iv seen but the eyes i havnt seen yet cuz i dont have a light on him for night time yet. thanx for all the comments tho!!
