This is Sweet Pea. Born 5.30.2016.

  Sorry the quality is not the best he decided to not move from my right hand so I had to take the picture with my left hand(so difficult)

Isn't he/she so awesome?

Thank you Precarious(He has some nymphs available still)!

This was yesterday when I first brought him home, he has been hanging upside down all day... hopefully he molts soon with no problems *fingers crossed*

I'm going to start posting a few photos everyday, because- for one, I'm bored, and don't have much going on at the moment- and two, because Sweet Pea is just so awesome, and I'd like to share the awesome-ness with others :p

The little nymph looks great, and appears to be at home already (cleaning itself while perched on your hand in the first photo). :)

 
He/she is adorable! I love the name too.  :wub:
hehe, thanks :p  I thought it fit her/m very well!

That makes me happy to hear! I hope I do a good job raising Sweet Pea, lol.

Nice baby!
Thanks to you I was able to get refunded so I could get this baby! I think you may be Sweet Pea's God-mother? LOL. 

 
Look who finally molted today! I KNEW she was going to molt, when out to lunch, and came home to this! I MISSED IT. Gosh darn-it! But I'm glad she had no troubles!! Sorry pictures are blurry, will have more after her skin hardens!
