Last time I was in the UK I noticed a copy of the magazine Practical Reptile Keeping in W H Smiths. I’m not sure whether the reptile in the picture is practical, but I made no attempt to keep him other than as a photograph.

The photo is for anyone who thought it a pity that yesterday’s lizard came to such a dusty end. (If the cats found this one after the photo session, ‘dusty’ won’t have described the ending.)
