Say Hello to My Little Friend

What’s smaller than a dwarf gecko? A baby dwarf gecko! I found this baby Sphaerodactylus sputator on Pinel today and I think he’s easily the smallest lizard I’ve ever seen. For scale, in the first photo he’s hiding in the folds of a crushed soda can, and in the others he’s climbing out of a regular size spice jar, like one of those McCormick’s ones. I just measured it and the hole he climbs out of is exactly 1/4″ in diameter. If you’ve seen a cuter little lizard, send me a photo.
