We have a new pet.

Introducing Dulce the baby Cuban Knight Anole.

Since she's Cuban we named her Dulce after the famous Cuban ballerina "back in her day".....now retired and the artistic director of the Jacksonville Ballet, where Lizbeth (my daughter) use to dance.

Isn't she a cutie?

Nice! That's one of the lizards I'd like to have some day. Thanks for explaining her name; when I first saw it, I thought "Dulce de Leche" (caramel).

 

[ijmccollum]

Sweet! Best to you and her -- keep her well.

Nice pictures! Very cute

So now Mike has his reptile and you have yours. Good thing Red is big so you can share him. Nice family you have going.

How do you know its a she? Both male and female knights have dewlaps, how are you making the guess?

 

[jannb]

I was told the white bands when young means female.

 

[Lizardlover]

She looks good Jann!

and yes you are correct, bands normally mean they are female

 

[Miss Lily]

how cute Jann! The markings on her eyes look just like eyelashes, lol!

 

[BocaJan]

What a surprise! Keep her away from your veileds or she will be invited to lunch. LOL Sorry for that, I am still freaked.

Cuban Knight Anoles are so cool, she looks amazing, thanks for sharing the pics.

Ducle also means sweet or candy. Something like that.

Have you tried giving her a chin rub yet? LOL

 

[jannb]

Thanks for all the nice compliments on little Dulce. She is just soooooo cute!

Tiff, it does look like she has beautiful long eye lashes but it's just her coloring.

Yes Syn, I've give her a few chin rubs but she's just so tiny I have to use my little finger. She's only 1 to 2 inches long not counting her tail. We just started taking her out of her cage for short periods........she jumps and I don't want to loose her in my house.

 

[Montium]

Congrats

 

[FroggtheCham]

She is adorable!!! Have fun enjoying her

 

[jannb]

Thanks Mike & Franie! I weighed her yesterday and she weighs 3 grams.

When I first had my tokay, I would take him into the bathroom, sit in the bathtub and close the shower curtain. Helps with some of my more jumpy geckos that I'm working with as well.
