Things Are Looking Up

I’m a tiny little lizard in a great big world, and all I ask for…

… is someone to look up to.

Beautiful shot, Jackie.

    Aw, adorable tiny lizard! I was recently in Hawaii and there were similar adorable tiny lizards, but they would run away if I pulled out a camera, not to mention try to hold one! Cutsies!

  6. Ray says:

    run for his collar, little guy! Got to get inside out of sight!

  7. Katrina says:

    Well, he started it, his tail is pointing!

  8. kzgz says:

    look at those delicate little toesies! I agree with your hover text NTMTOM – I think his expression is a little wary, like he’s checking out you and your intentions. Don’t try anything, bitches.

  9. boaks says:

    SQUEEEE more reptilian cuteness! Loving the lizards on CO lately! :-)

  10. Theresa says:

  12. Miaoosers says:

    Ti-hi, he looks like he’s ready to CONQUER THE WOOOORLLLD!

  13. chanpon says:

    Lizardy leery eyes!

  14. fish eye no miko says:

    @boaks: I agree! Just because they’re scaly and cold-blooded doesn’t mean they aren’t cute! Especially this little guy! Awwww!

  15. Saffron says:

    teeny slender toeses!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Aquamarine says:

    he can hang from my ear any time!

  17. Holly says:

    Plinky goodness. Here lizard lizard lizard!

  18. TrixandSam says:

    “I’m the king of da world!!”
    (This little guy has a personality of titanic proportions!)

  19. StormCat42 says:

    OMG, I’d be afraid to pick up this leetle guy!! I’d be afraid I’d break heem… So I will just continue to sqee like an idiot and admire this on your finger, if that’s ok…

    Sqeeeeeeee
    OH, and plink plink… Luvs that noise!

  20. Bubba says:

    Reminds me of Randall from Monsters inc.

  21. Hon Glad says:

    Swivel eyed sweetie.

  22. Noelegy says:

    How precious! Although it makes me a bit sad to think that this li’l guy is so fragile and potentially squishable. Bubba: I just finished watching (listening to) “Monsters Inc.” while repainting a bookcase this morning. :D

  23. fish eye no miko says:

    @StormCat42: I agree! I occasionally get little lizards in my house, and if they’re somewhere they can’t get out of on their own, I try to get them out; but I’m always afraid I’m gonna hurt them if I’m not careful.

  24. marian the librarian says:

    This, like that teeny frog, demonstrates a new Rule of Cuteness (or at least a corollary to Rule 14): “If you fit on my thumb, you’re cute.”

  25. RAT MOM says:

    He is so teeeeenie that even a mosquito would look like a B-52 Bomber. Such a cute little chameleon. Do you think he will ever shape shift to look like the finger??

  26. chezclutter says:

    I bet he saved alot on his car insurance!

  27. BStrange says:

    Little leezard looks to be contemplating the vastness of the Pink Warmth-Radiating Mountain That Moves. They’re so cute when they’re tiny! I especially like the ones that don’t seem to realize how small and squishable they are, and chomp fiercely when picked up by a hand a zillion times bigger than they are. This one appears to be of a mellower (or smarter) breed. :)

    Tiny lizard is tiny.

  29. earlybird1 says:

    EEEEE! His toes are the same width as the ridges on the fingerprints! Now that is one TINY lizard!!

  30. Samantha says:

    Hahaha, thought he was sitting on a tongue for a second. What a cutie!

  31. corianne says:

    nature never ceases to amaze me. Perfect tiny feets, and perfect tiny eye capsules! I heart this lizard! I heart him so much!

  32. chanpon says:

    So cute, so suspicious-looking.

  33. Biscuit Tin says:

    Cold-blooded, I am. A sunny spot for me, you will find. Yes.

  34. victoreia says:

    Just don’t let him near the kitties…..not only would they consider him a chew toy to chase after, he’d make ‘em sick once they chomped. (Unfortunately, geckos can carry salmonella and e coli. DON’T ask how I know this.) (Luckily, my orange boy is okay now….)

    [That's not uncommon with purchased pet reptiles, actually - Ed.]

  35. Katrina says:

    Behold, my peeps, the dinosaur. Mammals rule, reptiles drool.

  36. The Cat says:

    That is one delicious little cat snack.

  37. Aww :-) When leezars are this smallio, I always think of how tiny their food has to be. This one has a very sweet anole face :-)
