REPTILIAN TUESDAY # 69

It’s that great day of the week when we head out to meet a reptile! We’re staying close to South America and off to meet a tiny little lizard. Are you ready for this tropical adventure?

    If I had suction feet like a gecko, I would finally be able to steal food from the table. I’m too small to reach that darned thing!! Lucky gecko….
