Well, I went to a reptile show on Saturday thinking they would have some for sale and much to my disappoint, nothing. So my boyfriend and I went to a reptile store in the area to pick up a scorpion. Unfortunately, the didn't have the ones we were looking for (asian forest) so we looked around and found these little guys. I've wanted them before but the only ones available were a two hour drive away. They are MONSTER eaters, took down a couple of crickets very quickly, which is good because I was so worried on feeding them because of how small they are. They are definitely interesting to watch! They use their tail to sort of bungee jump off of their branches, and to lift themselves off the ground.

They are two males (they didn't have two females and I didn't want a couple). We named them Edouard Montpetit and Mayor Plus One. Very weird but who cares. :p

Whoa sweet, never seen them before

Are they a type of anole?

are you concerned about any territoriality between two males?

I'm not sure if they're related to anoles in any way but I don't think they are.

And males seem to be fine together, and I never found anything about territorial problems but I was concerned when I was getting them. I'm going to look more into it just to be safe. If anything I'll have them separated. :)

Especially considering you got them at a pet store, I'm very impressed with the tail length on that last one.

These are cool little lizards. Used to keep them in with my Asian vine snake enclosure.
