Meet little Suunto. A friend got this little one from a pet shop, but they changed their minds about keeping her. Lava, in the next set of pictures, was being terrorised by dogs in someone's garden. I hadn't intended on getting any more lizards right now, so these two are unexpected little pleasures! Suunto is most likely from near Adelaide in her ancestory, by the look of her colours. She looks similar to the coastal region shinglebacks around the Adelaide beaches, but it's more of a guess.
And this is Lava, so named for her hot-looking deep yellow colours. You can see how she compares to Lutea, who is also quite a rich yellow, when I put the two of them together. The awkward shot of her belly was only held for a second to show her colours.







incase you were interested
If you wanted to give them matching names you could spell Lava LAAVA--that means lava in Finnish AND they would both have that double-vowel). I can't seem to quit this whole name/Finnish word thing, so I'll just say that I am SOOO JEALOUS of those two beauties! I'm drooling over here!
