We got a call-out for a Brownsnake caught in a wooden fence, ended up being this cutie, a Burton’s legless lizard. Poor little think had a big meal in his belly and thus got himself jammed. Owners were happy to have him released in their garden 🙂 #Brisbane #wildlife #leglesslizard #burtonsleglesslizard #BNE #lizard #lizardsofinstagram #reptilesofinstagram (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia)

Gonatodes (Gonatodes daudini)–
Gonatodes is a genus of dwarf geckos that include many different species. Almost every species has a dramatic and unique color variation (in the males mostly). They mostly live in the forests of South America although some have adapted to live in cities and have been taken as pets.
They eat almost any bug that they can swallow. Â Some species of Gonatodes are becoming critically endangered due to deforestation.
Most of the species have pointed noses and are rather narrow in body size.  However Gonatodes Daudini, shown here is the only one with large  scales, bright orange irises and the 3 eye shaped patterns displayed by the males.Â
