...then where did they get the ability to fly?

Feathers and scales are made of different material, so where did the lizards no I mean reptiles get the materials needed to make feathers and the structure that allows them to fly?

After the initial shock of finding the reptile on her kitchen floor, Ms Banwell "sort of fell in love with him".

She and her family feared Larry would not survive the night after his double ordeal.

It was put in a warm box in the hope it would make a full recovery.

"He put his little head up, like he was reacting to my voice, I was just so pleased he was doing well," she said.

The lizard has been taken to a wildlife park in Somerset where it is under close observation.

Park director, Chris Moiser, said: "It is very rare - Cape Verde islands is one of those places with native species found nowhere else in the world, it's so remote.

"We have it down to one of two species but to tell the difference between these we need to carefully count some of the small facial scales, which is rather difficult on a relatively small lizard, which moves at speed."

There are concerns that the washing powder detergent could have been inhaled by the lizard, which could affect its lungs and cause pneumonia.

Well, some of the best reptile pets I’ve found are bearded dragons, ball pythons, or water monitors and red-tail boas but they get really big. They really only need mealworms and crickets to eat. Also, I agree with above, a rabbit and hedgehog or a rat would be great but that cage seems a bit big for just one rat. If you are going for more a “tropical” idea, you could go with a horned mountain dragon lizard....
