The head of a Burton's legless lizard, Lialis burtonis, against a pale, sandy substrate. The lizard projects an air of melancholy as it contemplates the best way to avoid more photographs. It is a "stripey boi" with longitudinal dark brown, cream and rufous stripes running from the tip of its rather pointy nose along its body.

Quick green ink sketch of a snakey-looking lizard's face, next to preppy fountain pen, date, and "Lialis jicari"

自家産ヤモリの消費量がちょっとマズい感じなので、つなぎで冷凍ヤモリを使うことに
4匹中3匹が食べてくれたので一安心

The best animals are the ones whose personalities are in their very bones.

Lialis burtonis scan by Dan Paluh

A CT scanned skull of a lizard. It has a very long snout with a pronounced overbite and frown that makes it look like a worried cartoon.

皮膚の状態も良さそうだし、問題ないでしょう
背骨が浮いてるのでしばらくはどんどん食べさせよう

完尾の小さい方　最初は尻尾が若干ｶﾞｸｶﾞｸしてたけど、エサガンガンやったので真っ直ぐに(見えるように)なった

Lialis are some of the coolest geckos, having long skulls, recurve teeth, elongate bodies, and they’re effectively limbless. However, nothing is known about their embryonic development.

一週間しないうちに一ヶ月分くらいのヤモリ使っちゃってヤバい
自家産のヤモリだけを使うって制限を勝手に設けてるだけなんで、エサ用のを買えば良いじゃんて感じでまあそこまですげーヤバいって程でもないけども
今んとこエサ用に殖やしてるのは1種類だけなんで、もう2種類くらいは殖やしたいなーというか殖やさなきゃなあ
