Aint he so loveable??? :D
AWWWW Geico needs him!
:( 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 awesome, aint he? :laugh:
Quite easy to look after too, dont get too big, easily tamed, but will eat you out of house and home!!!! lol
What does he eat?
And where's he from? Rainforest?
Such a cool creature :P I really want to get some reptiles when my fish give up the ghost... and the tank :P

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!
Are salamanders slimy?
way too cute!!!!
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.
;D

What's he like? Does he like to be picked up?
he's quite shy and nervous, but he's still only a baby and gradually getting used to me ^.^
What does he sound like? Does he make sounds?
Yeah he makes sounds lol He sounds like a mini dinosaur when he feels threatened, really cute! :laugh:

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
He's a handsome devil, Wishy! :)
