I wants one - Tiny Chameleon
http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/3831804-3x4-700x933.jpg
A newly discovered species of chameleon perches on a scientist's fingertip. The miniaturised lizard was discovered on the African island nation of Madagascar, and measures just tens of millimetres from head to tail. |

Cool, but not sure why you would want one. That would make a boring pet.

I really wanted a chameleon as a pet but nope, illegal in australia. So are ferrets but only in queensland for some f*****g unknown reason. Are there any cool animals that aren't illegal here? Bulls*** and shennanigans I say.

Yeah, anything that's cool you can't have as a pet, OR it would completely shred all your furniture.
Fairy Penguins as pets. Now that would be cool :P In the US, they breed Sugar Gliders as pets. But because they're Australian native animals, it's illegal to have them as pets here. |

10 millimetres long? so a centimetre then? Just stand back a distance and put your index finger where that one is to get an idea. It's probably bigger than 1 centimeter but hey it is complete for a reptile. |

Not something that would really work as a pet, but I always enjoy seeing the older Sea Turtles when I go diving... Was diving at Julian Rocks (Byron Bay) last weekend and saw this loggerhead which was probably 1.1~1.3m in shell length, so nearing the (or past the expected) end of it's life, 65+ years. Also saw a pretty big Green turtle (which would have been as old/older) but didn't get any good pics of it.
