Glad to see you aren't a lurker anymore! Cant wait for the pictures. I like the name too, is it an NCIS reference?

Haha yes it is. It began as Gibson though. I'm a guitarist and, although I don't own any Gibson models, it struck me as an appropriate name for the little guy!

Look forward to the photos.

I also look forward to the first skink named C.F. Martin. :)

I think the pictures are too large. Try resizing them and then uploading again. If you dont know how to do that, use a photo hosting site, such as photobucket and then copy and paste the [IMG] tag that photobucket generates. That should make the picture show up.
