First Birthday of G. personatus

[paka]

Tomorrow is the first birthday of the captive bred G. personatus.
They hatched out of their eggs around 5pm Hawaii time on March 3 last year. If you'd like to celebrate with us, wherever you are in the world, raise your glass at 5pm Hawaii time tomorrow and feel free to post a Happy Birthday message here.

The last year was one of the best of my life and I really think the whole G personatus project started back with the C. interrupta project (Faith and Fabio) on this forum. It was all the positive interactions on that thread that got the ball rolling. So as well as saying Happy Birthday to my babies around the world I'll also be saying a huge thank you to all of you!!

Of course the question is.... It's been a year so what's in store for us next? What new little gems are growing up (and out) in the garage....

Congrats to everyone involved with this achievement. I fell lucky that some of the people who ended up with them have kept us updated with a constant flow of pics and dialogue. Good job to everyone!

Happy birthday to an amazing achievement to our hobby. Thanks to Karen and everyone else involved for making dreams come true and allowing us normal folk to maybe 1day realize this too.
