Nosey

 When I was doing my research on the tiny chameleon for yesterday's post, I came across these weird critters in the same search lists. This first one is a Luminous Nose Horned Lizard, and belongs to the same family as the Bearded dragons. It lives in Indonesia, and had been thought to be extinct until 2018.


This on is an Ecuardian Horned Anole, or Pinocchio Lizard. It's horn is soft and will fold over when bumped. They can also wiggle it up & down.



And last, and certainy least in my mind, is the Vietnamese Longnosed Snake. It is not venomous.

What I thought the title of your post I thought oh no she's doing a post about me! Haha. I just absolutely love all of these I can't even pick a favorite and I would love to see them in person! The one that fascinates me the most is the anole because that's what our lizards are there brown anoles and they look exactly like that one except they don't have the gorgeous nose and a gorgeous color. Good job being nosey
