:( I want one. I like odd pets, xcept for spiders... Not sure if I'd have a spider, or a snake. But I could do one of those.

He's from the desert and he eats crickets and mealworms (they're them things you can get dried to give to birds, gecko's prefer them live :P )

Desert where? Sahara? New Mexico? Or all desert areas?
And what does he feel like? Scaly? Slimy?
Don't mean to interrogate lol. Just love exotic creatures. :laugh:

Not really sure which desert.

but... he just feels like skin really. His back and tail is a bit tougher than everywhere else, but i wouldn't say he's scaly and definatly not slimy!  :D I dont think there is any reptile out there that really is slimy!

Salamanders are amphibians...dunno how that differs from reptiles, but a lot of amphibians can be slimy.

I"ll ask someone at work about it (I work at a Petco).

Amphibians are still basicly aquatic creatures, and like fish, they need to coated in water at all times. Those creatures that live partially out of water have a "slimy" coating to keep them moist when they're out of water.

So reptiles that live on land are not slimy. Their scales can be as soft as skin or rock hard, but they're dry.

1ft in total. That is if he stops growing! The way he's growing right now i wont be surprised if he reaches past that mark. He's grown 4/5 inches in just 2 months already!!! about 4 months old and 8 inches long. He must have been 2/3 inches when i first got him 2 month ago! lol
