They used to have them in the pet shop on Pigeon Street! :-)

Oh heck....thought it was a flippin' antibiotic or something....couldn't understand why you'd want to buy antibiotics.  Anyway, no, never owned one, but they look lovely.

I remember reading about them in my old book, Pets for Children, but that's about the extent of my "experience" :P

There were two kept in one of the biology classrooms when I was at school. They never seemed to do anything and I often wondered what purpose they served.

I don't know much - but check this site out.  I don't think they stay cute and small for long though!

We have them at college, they are around 6" long and fairly old now, they are easy to keep and feed on livefood such as crickets.
