It seems that he does. This Sub-Saharan African lizard is becoming all the rage among pet owners. And even though I abominate fad pets (or rather, the fad itself), I must admit to feeling an urge to own one of these. Of course, it's only the male that sports such color. Show offs.
Thanks for the fad lizard, Ida.

so beautiful! Male animals are usually more interesting to look at than female animals. Peacocks and certain types of birds, for instance.
ReplyDeleteIt's all for mating rituals, in order to look beautiful to attract female partners.
You need that lizard like a hole in the head...
ReplyDeleteI saw a picture of this lizard a month or so ago, and just started laughing in my office. It truly does look like Spiderman's sidekick. By the way, I agree with you re: fad pets. Too many people end up getting tired of their "fad pets" and give them up to the shelter or just toss them away. *shakes fist*
ReplyDeleteHow cuuuuuuute! I will rescue all the fad lizards that are abandoned. <3
ReplyDeletei agree three(!), plus it's horrible with the more dangerous and bigger pets *cough cough big cats cough*
