New tiny lizards

[nightbreed]

Hey guys, I got myself a couple of these today.

They are TINY, and this guys an adult.

I have tentatively ID'd them as Tropiocolotes steudneri, they are the cutest little things and do the most adorable little tail wiggle thing.

those are nice looking lizards! not exactly sure how big that coin is but i figure its roughly similar to our quarters. i just got my first reptile about a week ago..they are great! and i'm not sure why i didn't get into them earlier.

You mean Triopicalctes?
These do, or did at one show up in the US trade every so often.
I remember seeing them when I was younger.

I'm not sure, all the pics I could find of Triopicalctes have been really small so I couldn't really compare.
The pics of Tropiocolotes steudneri on the other hand were much better and look pretty close to what I have.

Heres a pic of the same coin on a blank CD just to give you an idea of scale

Reptiles are awesome, I already have a few snakes but these are my only lizards (at the moment) I also got myself a baby African Bullfrog at the same time as these little cuties, ahhh its been a good day

around here where i live and into bakersfeild calif i catch banded geckos and they are the same size as yours and they do the cool tail flick thing too. every time i go out hunting ill catch one and when i grab them they make a squilling noise,very easy to breed as well.
