I haunt my local Petco stores hoping for this to happen, but they usually get it mixed up the other way around.
BTW I got excited and forgot to say - congrats on the new nem!!!

LOL nice 
I am on my phone, but that does not look like a haddoni. It looks more like a Mertensii. The verrucae on the underside of the foot appears to be a mertenssi as well.Check out my $35 “haddoni” I received from an online order. Excuse the terrible pics, just received it in the last hour.
SCORE!!
It could also be a gig, but again, on phone and old eyes with a cracked screen is no good lol.
@Lost in the Sauce @OrionN @F i s h y thoughts?

It is a Gigantea, it was mislabeled as a Haddoni, thus the excitement.
See, old eyes, broken screen on phone, is not a good thing lol. I see the quotes over haddoni now lol.It is a Gigantea, it was mislabeled as a Haddoni, thus the excitement.
That is a score for sure.

It is a Gigantea. Mertensii have much more veracuae. Also a green Mertensii would worth many thousands. Much more so than a green Gigantea.
If you missed it, I am an idiot lol. Broken screen, nem looks slightly orange, missed a post, just basically my old feeble self being dumb lol.
