Emma Stone Hates On Tortoises
(Jeff Barringer) - Sunday, Dec 03, 2023

Emma Stone wins Speedy on SNL

Not really, but this sketch, from the quiz show Question Quest on this weekends Saturday Night Live, is pretty much on point when it comes to the responsibilities that attach when you suddenly acquire a pet that will likely outlive you, your children, and your children's children.

Being a long time owner of a 70lb Sulcatta tortoise this sketch really speaks to me.

Saba and Its Anole
(Richard Bartlett) - Monday, Dec 04, 2023


An adult male Saba Isle Anole. Anolis sabanus

Saba!

What is Saba?

Saba, it turns out, is a tiny upthrusting in the northeastern Caribbean. Only about 5 miles across, this tiny island has sandy beaches (expensive hotels), 4 main villages having descriptive names such as The Bottom (Saba's capital), Windwardside, St. John's and Zion's Hill (aka Hell's Gate), and even has some rainforest. Oh yes, it also has 3 indigenous and endemic reptiles, an anole, a Sphaerodactyline gecko and a Colubrine snake.

But initially it was only the anole that I found of interest. I had learned of this lizard through Jake, who had talked of both its homeland and beauty for months. In fact, Jake wanted to fly to this lizard’s dot of land to photograph it. But to me it seemed a long journey simply to photograph a single lizard species, and an anole at that.

Then Jake found an online pic and my attitude was swayed. I had just about made up my mind to opt into the “Jake’s Anole Expedition” when an online ad for that exact species popped up on my computer screen. Rather than take the trip. I bought a couple of the lizards…both gender. The live lizards that arrived were even prettier than the pix I had seen. The anoles are sexually dimorphic, the female lacking the polka-dots of the adult males.

Both the male and the female, seem to be doing well, eating tiny crickets and flightless fruit flies. Males have a beautiful, large, deep yellow throat fan. I hope you’ll agree that, although not one of the larger species, it is a species well worth looking at.
