5. Now that I look at the corner of my browser he kind of does.
I wonder if they get any bigger than that. Off to Google. :)

2. He's beautiful, like a baby dragon.
And a look on his face that says, "Hey! Mammal! Show some respect, will ya?"

14. Hi OhioBlues!!
We had lots of lizards and horny toads in Texas, but nothing like this guy either. They are South African lizards, but you would think it would have an American "cool" cousin. :rofl:

:hi::hug:

17. You're just saying that because you're still in the 700 club.
Wait until you break 800. You'll come back around.

27. Aussies have an similar fella called a bearded dragon, and they are
teh bomb as pets! My nephew has one, and he's awesome. What's cool about them is that they are very aware of your presence and appear relatively sentient: Full grown:

32. They're great as juveniles and as adults...
but when they're 'teenagers', they go through a phase where they get grumpy and snippy. Actually, kind of like human teenagers. :P

Other than that, very intelligent and friendly for a reptile.

34. I miss my gecko. :(
Edited on Tue Feb-19-08 07:05 PM by DarkTirade
She was so friendly.

Okay, well she liked my body heat and she trusted me enough to cuddle. But that's kinda like friendlyness, right? :)

39. I never had mine when she was so tiny. :)
Got her when she was about 5 inches long. Took her a little while to get used to me, but once she did she loved climbing on me and exploring. She liked to either cuddle on my palm and absorb the body heat, or climb around to between my shoulderblades. Which was a problem, because I was always afraid of accidentally squishing her or knocking her off. :P So every now and then we'd have a little contest. She'd try to crawl up over my shoulder, and I'd try to scoop her up and set her back down on my chest or arm. :) Being bigger, I won most of the time.

42. I'm guessing yours wasn't a Tokay. They will chew on you like it's their primary occupation!
:scared: And bark at you, besides!

44. It's just that Tokays are so beautiful! Pity. Leopard's are nice and docile. I had a friend feed
his pinkies right out of his hand.

46. Whereas if you tried that with a tokay
it'd probably go for the fingers and ignore the pinky.

And that's if it liked you. :P
