Cute. And they're not on a watch list or anything? Maybe you could help the little guy and his species out by getting him a lady friend :).
And how do they take to holding? I know some species of reptile actually like affection, but not most, due to the fact they lack nurturing instincts.
Well, It is being considered for protected status... but so many people are breeding them right now. I mean, there are breeders and forums all over the web and It seems to be really gaining popularity.
My little buddy is pretty easy to hold. Although, he (and I say he lightly, could be a girl, cant tell yet) is in no way tame yet. Apparently they tame well over time and are very easy going. I am currently 'hand walking' him for 5 mins a day. You pick him up in his tank, and put one hand about 4" in front of the other and have him jump from hand to hand like that. It is getting him used to me and picking up my scent. But if I take him out of the tank, he'll run up my arm at full speed and chill on my shoulder. Lol!
I am just crazy about his dumb ass and once I find out the sex, I will be purchasing an older one of the opposite sex and I will attempt to breed the little buggers. Can't wait.
