He/she is a beauty! Our little bug zappers are not that iridescent though.
With all the beauty can you blame him/her for wanting to live there??

I've kept those same skinks as pets here, we called them Golden Skinks. I had a group of them for a long time.

Stephania ....I want one !
nice two-tone suit its wearing,and looks well fed too.

That is a bigger skink than any we have, Stephania. So nice of him to choose a pot that he goes so well with!

In my shadehouse I more often see anole lizards. Here is an old picture of one on Bill. Caramba:

Hey Stephania....
I forgot to add ; That sun skink has a wry smile on its face,and is obviously thinking...
'WOW ! man,this is a fabulous place, and I'm making it my permanent pad'
Bob ;)

I have always liked lizards , and still enjoy watching the many skinks dash around the plants at home and work . Some here have a dark crimson blush over the same striped markings as the first post . We also have an enormous 30cm+ skink here , much like the large blue tounged lizards I knew back in Victoria , a pair of these had made a home in the back of an old piano in the ancient farmhouse I used to live in .

As I heard that Dennis Cathcart of Tropiflora use to be a herpetologist
and begin his billions bromeliad business from the terrarium of that hobby.

Lisa, your Anole is really stunning, that must be male one as female is quite paler.

Yes...you all, should have one in your garden to talk with :^)

I have a Blue Tongue skink now, also a bearded dragon.

Here's another old picture. This one's slightly X-rated, so you might want to shield your eyes.

If you're talking about the Madagascar Day Gecko, Bambi, there are some around, but they haven't established themselves at our place yet. I'm hoping they will.

Ha...Ha...Lisa, you are a National Geographic Photographer :^))

I love that Jackson's Chameleon, but difficult to keep here, as it's too hot.

Hey Bambi, I used to have a pair of prehensile tail skink from Solomon Island,
but they escaped from the cage, as my mom forgot to lock up.
They are nocturnal and herbivorous, so I just hope
they would be survive somewhere in my garden.

Where are Jackson Chameleons native to, Stephania? People have brought them in here as pets (illegally) and they escape. I have found them only a few times, but they are so slow-moving I don't know how they survive in the wild at all. A couple of times I have seen one just sitting in the middle of the road and had to stop the car and get out and move it so it wouldn't get hit. They are very easy to handle.

I've had Prehensile tails, great animals, very expensive now. I had a pair years ago that bred and gave me 6 babies before I sold them.

Yes I love Day geckos, I have bred 6 species, and still keep the Gold Dusts.

There are a lot of Jacksons in Hawii, they were collecting them comercially for awhile, and they actually did very well in captivity. The wild ones don't. I bred dwarf/leaf chameleons (Brookesia) for a short time. Too much work!

We have Leopard, Fat Tailed geckos now, some High end Ball pythons and Boas, the snakes are at a friends place.

There are/were? Dart Frogs in Hawii too. I keep a few still.

I'm still looking for Bromeliad boas.

Lisa, Jackson's Chameleon came from a very hight altitude, 3,000 m., of East Africa.
So that why they do well in cooler climate.

When I visited Madagascar in 2000 and 2004, I found many of them in habitat.
Once at Amber Mountain, N Madagascar,
I faced a really gigantic Parson's Chameleon, 70 cm long also a pair of really tiny,
smaller than my little finger, Chameleon (Brookesia minima)
which I uncovered from a forest's floor.

The most beautiful is Panther Chameleon at Nose Be Island, N Madagascar.
The male has colourful turquoise with rainbow-colored pattern.

In a reptile farm at Andasibe near the capital Antananarivo, Central Madagascar,
I saw a lot of species of Chameleon and Mantella frog,
the most striking is Golden Mantella.

Hey Bambi...it sound like we are going into the jungle !
