I have been watching this eel for at least weeks... It was the last one, and I'd never thought I'd find a garden eel plush, much less one this adorable. Thank goodness luck was on my side, because this boy is mine! He's so tiny, fitting within the palm of my hand, and the sand seems to be bead pellets while his body is stuffing! My only thing is that I which the white stripes were also fabric, but considering how tiny he is, I can understand why it isn't. Anyway, thank you for reading!
