These came in, a little smallish (3-4") but really cute. Looks like what has been referred to as 'Tanzanian Neon Blue Legged' (not to be confused with the 'Neon Blue', Trachycormocephalus sp.).

I just picked one of these up at a reptile show this weekend. Really nice pede....isn't as "nutso crazy" as some pedes (fairly calm when I transfered it to it's cage, of coarse it "calmly" attacked the forceps I was using to transfer it as well ;) ) Also it's out a lot...even during the day. It's got a farily nice sized cage with lots of places to hide and 3in. of substrate to burrow into (which it does), but is out cruising the cage or just hanging out most of the time. Has fed well so far for me too. And like everyone has said....it's really cute too. Anyone know how big it will get? I saw on Todd Gearheart's site that he has them listed at a length of 4.5in. I'm hoping for something around 5-6in.
