the pic of that lizard is cute but the lizard is very skinny. thats been on my mind all night. it may just be that its a wee thing & thats just how it is but i had to inquire otherwise it would've been on my mind all day today...cant have that.

Was the vendor that you got the snakes from even selling lizards? I am wondering if he didn't escape a near-by table and was hiding out in the bag...

i don't think they were, at least i didn't see any at that table.

He is definitely a baby. From head to tail, he is about 5" long. We got some crickets for him yesterday, but I haven't seen him eat yet. I hope the little guy does ok.

Great snakes and even better lizard. Can't wait to see if there is any other story that goes with it.

My fiance wanted me to say "finders keepers"

Oh.MY.GOD LOL, thats funny! Nice pick ups, and keep the lizard if you can, it says something when a lizzard picks you

Heres my guess

Ive been to alot of shows, and from what I see 90% of the Venders keep reptiles in bags that they cannot fit onto the table,under or behind the table, so my guess could be that the vender accidently decided to use a bag that had something already in it? That or he truely is just a stowaway and hitched a ride in that bag and didnt get caught.

The first thing i thought of was, maybe someone else they were checking out bought it, then they accidentally put my bps in their bag. I hope nobody else was disappointed. I also thought, maybe they had a bunch of them they couldn't get rid of so they just threw it in... I had a 2 hour car ride home. The little guy must have been pretty worried in that bag with 2 big snakes lol.

I don't think either of these scenarios is likely. I've never heard of a lizard being put in a snake bag for transport...they usually go in little plastic cups with lids. I can't imagine that any reasonable businessman would intentionally put a baby lizard into a bag...much less a bag with snakes in it. I'm very glad he wasn't hurt in the journey!

Seems most likely to me that he escaped from some other table and was hiding in that bag that your snakes got put into. Beautiful snakes, btw! And frilled dragons are awesome creatures...I'm glad you're deciding to keep it...I hope we can see pics of it as it grows!

Ok it's official. We're keeping the little guy. My husband named him Stewy, and now i have to figure out how to build a 4 foot high enclosure and regulate temp and humidity lol. Sounds like this could be tricky. I've been reading up on these guys for hours and they are pretty interesting. Also, I saw him eat 4 crickets this morning! Hopefully he will start to put on some weight soon. I have read that these guys eat like pigs compared to BPs. This will definitely be a new learning experience but we're excited!
