This is what happens when you spook him:

This is what happens when food bites back:

I can't tell from the picture but I think yours has the stripes going all the way across the belly to the tail. Elvis dosen't have this, as you can see his stripes come from above and don't go down the belly. :D

Thank you elvis is very cute and looks very sad in the pic where his food bit him! yes my little fella has stipes running from chin to tail at the moment they are quite prominent i guess they will probably fade as he lightens up!

Elvis is so awesome. Every time I see that picture of him being bitten by that worm I smile inwardly. He has such a personable face and cute character!
