I went to get crickets tonight to our little mom and pop local pet store, and I looked in a tank and saw such a beautiful tiny lizard- smaller than a gecko in length. They just got them. It had this shiney irridescent turquoise all over is head and little rust and cream checks all over the side of its body which looked like peyote stitch. And it had really long little toes. My husband said one lizard is enough, but I came home and had to find out more about them. I can't find anything. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Put up a picture the animal you decribe could be Oplurus like the previuos picture or Chalarodon or Trachyloptycus petersi.It's hard to say with the description you gave and all come in with some frequency.People better start breeding these things also or we won't be seeing them for long.I have picked up some of these but I can't do everything,and it would be a shame to never see them once Madagascar shuts down.

Ive been talking to Pals about Conservation plans and species protection in Madagascar. also about habitat resortation. The truth is alot people on fauna rich island. and exportation of herps is not helping the wild population in Madagascar it is possible for the importers to farm raise many species in Mad. like the Chameleon farms in Madagascar. so my fellow gecko lovers Captive breeding is all are goals and it will continue so hats off to you guys and gals.

I dont do it for money just the species.
