    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I got this guy from FedEx today courtesy of Chris Canada-Smith.

This, ladies and gents, is a 2011 Ferrari Hypo Pastel, and he is absolutely gorgeous. Everyone needs one of these in their collection, I've decided. Lol

My digital camera is borked, so I can use is my husband's Droid for now. I snapped a few quick pics when he got home outside. The first one is in direct sunlight, the rest are in the shade. But the sun was already quite set.

Still, the amount of color this animal is dripping with is absurd and he isn't even completely "fired up" right now.

Currently, he is nameless.

Love this guy's tail.

These guys have completely white bellies. It accentuates the color by being such a contrast from one point to the other.

Why, hello thar!

Enjoy!
 
I was happy to send him to a good home, Diem. I still can't wait for your reaction after you feed him for the first time.

Congrats!
He's a real stunner, just beautiful colors! I'm loving those pinks! :thumbsup:

The picture of him in your hands made me melt. I'm so used to seeing them in tubs or on a blank canvas background that I forget just how small they start out as. Simply adorable! :D
The 'hello thar' cracked me up too, it was the moustache pattern that sealed it for me. :p

You'll have to let us know what name you decide on~
 
If you don't mind me suggesting a name, Luigi, off the movie "Cars", was obsessed with Ferrari's. Just sayin...

Those are actually my husband's hands. :D But yes, I totally know what you mean. It's so easy to forget just how tiny these guys start out at, but it is amazing to realize when you are holding one that is completely wrapped around your body or stretched out seven feet in front of you and you remember the day it fit in the palm of your hand. For me, there is no feeling like it.

He does have a pretty epic goatee thing going on, huh? XD

That made me laugh pretty hard. I was messing with Chris earlier by saying I was going to name him "Lambo" for Lamborghini. But ... I have a theme of mythological diety names so I am going to stick to that. He's not the only little one without a name as of right now.

Awesome color, Diem! Congrats on a great acquisition.

Thank you. He's a great little animal and I cannot wait to watch him grow.
 
What typo are you attempting to correct, Tyler?

And I can't name him Lucifer. He doesn't have a smug sense of self worth just yet.

Whoops! Sorry! :blush:
I think perhaps the arm hair should have tipped me off. :rofl: In my defense though, your husband has pretty fingernails! :p

I can't tell you if it's supposed to be "as" or "at" there, but I fully agree. ;) They really do grow up so fast, nothing beats that feeling. :eek:

I always love it when they have that!
In his pattern I'm seeing a gentlemanly 'stache and bowties on his back. I'm thinking he's all dressed up fancy, so where's he going to go...?
All he needs is a top hat and cane now~

Yes, I do need to keep my imagination on a leash. :rolleyes:

Lol I told my husband he has pretty fingernails and he just gave me the strangest look.

I love the 'staches that boas tend to sport, even the soul patches. Lol I'm actually thinking he may end up being Adonis, for obvious reason. :) How's that for fancy?
 
Nice. His Ferrari line is amazing.

When we gonna see some of that in albino Chris?

Okay, since he's nameless and I'm staring at Utta's avatar, how about Gungnir? It was the name of Odin's spear that never missed its target. Yeah, I like the weird names and am a Norse mythology nut. :D And he has such a nice head spear.

I've picked Adonis, but that name I shall reserve for another, if you don't mind. :p

As for the Albino ... dunno' if Chris is going to do it ... but I may. Lol We'll see. Right now, I'm more focusing on color enchancement in general.
