Sadly he got a bit etiolated last winter, but this year he's going to get all the light and love so he can stay cute and pudgy :)

I love it! I have never seen one like this, it's like it has fuzzy rolly-pollys all over it!

What does it look like etoliated?

Edit: this picture is going in my "I Want" folder lol

This is what it looks like now, it's already a bit etiolated. Not very much at all, fortunately, but he was a bit more chubby and round originally. Did keep him under a cheap Amazon light over the winter, but it wasn't bright enough and he started getting elongated, but fortunately he's a slow grower so it's not very visible yet :)

Wish I took a photo when I bought him to show what he looked like.

Edit: found a photo online that's very similar to the shape this little dude had when I got him:
