Flash is a baby Jordanian Greek. He started hatching 7/17/13, fully emerged 7/19/13. I figured instead of making numerous threads about flash, I'll just centralize it all here 
. I'll put pics and updates in here periodically. Flash finally got to move into his actual habitat this past Sunday.
He's got a feeding/baking slate in there. A log hide (which I've yet to see him use), tons of sphagnum moss all on the warm side. Water dish is on the middle, there's a small succulent forget what type but it is safe, and more sphagnum moss for hiding on the cool side. All of this in a small 10 gallon tote for now.

To save some space, here's a link to the Flash's initial thread. There's some pics of him right after he hatched out in there.

He now weighs a whopping 14 grams and is still about the same length.
It was so awesome on Sunday. I got finished setting everything up for him and set him in there. It was like a switch flipped and all of a sudden he knew what to do. He proceeded to start to try to eat the aspen shavings and coco coir and just about anything else. I ran and grabbed some radicchio and he ate for the first time! I have a video of it that I'm going to post in the next little bit too!

Little side note, the day before the video was taken. I was holding Flash in my hand, right in front of Rafiki (momma) eating. Some of the things he does while he eats is the exact same that Rafiki does. What's pretty funny is sometime he does things at the wrong time and gets frustrated as to why it's not working. This little dude is a riot. He got so mad, right after the video, that he couldn't get all of the radicchio, that he took one last hard bite at it and then ran into his hiding space under the sphagnum moss. Two minutes later he came out and conquered that same piece
