Did someone post lizard pics?
I remember someone posting pics of tiny little lizards. One was on a finger and fully grown.
I want to get a lizard and would like to research these little ones but don't know what they are called..

They are great little guys, simple to keep once you get the setup sorted. Small viv, with lots of hiding places (real or plastic plants), twigs for them to climb on and orchid bark for the substrate. Temperature wise they should be fine kept at room temperature in an average house. They need to be sprayed a couple of times a day to keep humidity up. Feed on small crickets. That makes it sound very easy, but whilst they are easy once you have got it right it can be very difficult at first. I'd only go into them if you are really serious, they can be quite stressful to keep at times!
That's a very basic run through, give me a shout if I can be of any, more specific help! Kelly, you make me blush

Pygmy chameleons are awesome little things we used to have ours in a little exo terra setup with one big plant in a pot in the middle but after a few months we took the plant out of the viv and put it on a table and now she happily lives in the tree without having to have a viv around her
she's a friendly wee thing she will climb on to your hand if you go over to her tree and loves to be sprayed. we feed her little cockroaches that we put in a bowl for her so they don't escape! we have a little light hanging over her tree that we put on for just a few hours a day, our house is an old stone house so gets pretty chilly sometimes so that just warms her up a bit in the daytime any questions just ask. there's loads of little lizards so if you want any advise on any other species give me a shout, good luck! |

That sound really sweet, I would love to do that. I wouldn't be able to though as my parrots would probably land on the tree and eat the poor dude like a bug.
If I have them I would like a good few, say one male and 3/4 females. I have a 4ft fish tank so could probably have more. Still researching and coaxing my husband into compliance, (he's wavering) I always get what I want in the end.

I will probably be back for your expert advice. Thanks for your help so far, great to have a starting point to build on. They sound perfect for me, easy but with a challenge and cute but not boring.

hehe yeah maybe not such a good plan with a parrot!
They like living in little groups so that sounds a good plan they are wicked little things, there so funny to watch and watching them eating is proper good entertainment...we used to have three but we had a gas leak in our house and it killed two of them I was gutted |

How long do they live? Some say only 6 months is that right?
