Someone posted a link that had the striped leg look of Biddle, but I can't find it. He has really long legs, like a long-legged species. Still can be very skittish at times, but getting increasingly curious. The black look seems to be his norm but I have noticed today, he was watching tv from a side vantage point, and his siphon and suckers were very reddish. THe most recent pic should be titled - Find Biddle.:wink:

The top pic looks like my abdopus

Now that I'm relooking at the pics on this page, you could be right. One does have the striped look to his legs and Biddle is very good at spiking. In particular the 4th row, 1rst pic.
