What animal is that??? It's so cool!

[–] Willdrick@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Some sort of gecko, maybe a Tokay gecko?

Google lens confirms your guess:

Smol dragon.

Tokay gecko, possibly with a morph though I'm not familiar with the name if so.

Looks like a tokay gecko

Never seen a tokay that would tolerate being handled like this. They are usually super bitey

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 6 points 4 days ago

Ive heard that they can get quite tolerant if tamed while young, just that the taming is rather long and difficult. Though I don't have personal experience with them to confirm that.

I was going to say the same thing. Learn from my parents (and me). These do not make great pets for kids, assuming you love your kids and your kids love their fingers.

I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be cake. It doesn't look like it was a real animal, with those big lollypop eyes and the skin of marzipan and the little sugar pearls 💖

For some unfathomably strange reason I want a fake one as my computer mouse

Very cute. I'd love to hold my gecko like this, but she is a cranky old lady.
