This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Tokay gecko facts - these are sometimes sold in pet stores in the US, but are definitely not an entry level pet.
They are notoriously temperamental, can run incredibly fast on walls, bark and hiss when irritated, and have a locking mechanism on their jaw that makes it so they won't let go after biting until they consciously decide to let go. They can be pretty good pets if handled properly, but chances are they were not if you see one in a pet store.
Tokay gecko facts - the tokay and it's sound are thought to be a good omen of successful business in Vietnam. Apparently they also make good jerky!
I want to believe at least some dinosaurs were also brightly colored like this.
What an adorable little Yoshi!
My wife taught English in Thailand for a while. She liked hearing these in her room at night because it meant the mosquitoes would be less of a problem, but they could get pretty loud.
Really cute compared to the ones I saw in the wild.
I read that as mint Dino, which I think is also applicable
I want one right now...
They are bred in captivity as pets actually. They're known for being quite bitey for a gecko though.
