Follow Philippine immigration and life in the Philippines: This is one of the smallest reptiles in the world, smaller than a child's thumbnail. This amazing creature is believed to be commonly found in the typical indoor geckos of the Philippines. While it may not be your first choice when buying a pet for your child, Philippine photography enthusiast Colin Lanisk couldn't resist its charm.
14-year-old Lanisk is always excited when he sees a small lizard and is incredibly curious about their little lives. When he caught this adorable little creature, he even scared his sister away. He then decided to keep this little lizard as a pet. He fed it and cleaned its body.
Lanisk said: “Since then, my sister has been afraid of lizards because every time I saw a lizard when I was young, I would catch it and scare my sister. I would just walk around the house and see lizards, and I would immediately catch them. But because this lizard was so small, I thought my sister wouldn’t be too scared, so I decided to keep it.” The first time he caught such a small lizard, it was only half the size of his thumbnail. A year later, it had only grown to the size of his palm.
