Those are neat!!! I love them. My son is going to freak out when I show him. He is a dinosaur fanatic.
I think we may have a new pet :D Or near future pet.

"Gracilis is one of the few species of lizards that vocalize when in distress. When startled, they tend to freeze and have been known to convincingly "play dead" (even when handled)." [Wikipedia]
Those are some really interesting lizards you found there. Makes me wonder about their ancestry and placement on an evolutionary chart.

Yup, I have one. He's super-cute, but not very tame. Easy to care for, and takes crickets like a champ. I'm working him up taking them from my hands, but so far he just backs off and waits for me to drop them.

Re: Mini Dinosaurs?
I can, but honestly he looks exactly like all the others. There's not much variation in the ones I've seen. He does have the cutest little bird-like expression when he holds his head sideways right before he goes after a cricket, but I don't find him that interactive. He's happier left alone...handling stresses him out.
