Sorry for photo quality. its from a cell phone. I just got this guy FedEx'd today. He's a little over 1 inch in length. I have been looking all over for one and finally decided to just mail order him.

He's only been in the tank for an hour or so. Hoping to see him go hunting in a day or so.

Anyhow, I'm stoked!

I want one 16".. unfortunately they don't come that size but it's a great thought!
 
I passed on a few only because they are prone to being very temperamental and i head they can even easily become depressed and starve themselves to death. good luck though man, he looks good!
 
so far i havn't seen him eat anything. I have kept a close watch. I have all the foods that he would normally eat on hand and available. I guess I'll give it a few days and see what happens. He has plenty of foliage to hid in, but so far he's taken to the foliage at the top of the tank.

I hope he eats tomarrow...i always feel better after I see them act normal. If he doesn't I am not sure what my next move or when that move will have to be. Anyone have any idea how to handle that?

Name wise if he makes it longer than two weeks I think I'll stick with Leif Ericson.
