Start with a young one, and you can raise it to calmly rest upon your hand. Impress your tokay-fearing friends with a friendly giant. Tokay geckos are sky blue with orange spots and huge catlike eyes, a truly magnificent creature. This is the most hardy of the true chameleons. These creatures are fascinating with their independently moving eyes, prehensile tails, and strangely shaped feet.
True chameleons use a projectile tongue for feeding much the way frogs do.
Friendly, green alternatives to the green iguana, these are carnivorous lizards which are easy to feed and care for. They resemble the green iguana, but do not get as large and do not have the same difficult dietary regimen. They are also quite attractive, with topaz eyes and emerald skin with a brown and white stripe pattern. We ve handled these babies to make them sweet and tame. This little jewel of a gecko is one of the day geckos, which require a diurnal setup with full spectrum lighting.
