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?
MEET THE STRIPED DAY GECKO!

Striped Day Geckos are really adorable little lizards. Like other geckos they have suction cup feet. We wish we had suction cup feet so we could climb like geckos!

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….
