Sadly he got a bit etiolated last winter, but this year he’s going to get all the light and love so he can stay cute and pudgy :)

      I’ll try my best! Got a nice strong light this year (possibly too strong if anything), so here’s hoping!

    I love it! I have never seen one like this, it’s like it has fuzzy rolly-pollys all over it!

    What does it look like etoliated?

    Edit: this picture is going in my “I Want” folder lol

      This is what it looks like now, it’s already a bit etiolated. Not very much at all, fortunately, but he was a bit more chubby and round originally. Did keep him under a cheap Amazon light over the winter, but it wasn’t bright enough and he started getting elongated, but fortunately he’s a slow grower so it’s not very visible yet :)

      Wish I took a photo when I bought him to show what he looked like.

      Edit: found a photo online that’s very similar to the shape this little dude had when I got him:

        Huh. I didn’t realize the fuzzy rolly-pollys were at the end of every leaf. I kind of like it etoliated, he went from chonky to cuboid!
