bonsai island pets

birds:
asian blue quail (coturnix chinensis) 12.5-14 cm
canary (serinus canaria) 12-20 cm
zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata castanotis) 10 cm
as far as my research can tell me zebra finches are the smallest bird i am likely to find in captivity and be able to afford. it also happens to be sold in every pet shop ever. its not a bad choise. it has colorful plumage and the beaks in robust and impresive. they kinda of make me think of little dinosaurs.

lizards:
reef geckos only get about 2-3'' long
yellow headed gecko 4" long
the mediterranian house gecko 4-5" long
dwarf sand gecko 3.5-4" long
viper geckos 3-4" long
mourning gecko 3-4" long $30 + shipping $50 = $80 each at http://www.chaoticnightsreptile.com/forsalenow.php
dwarf chameleon (Rieppeleon brevicaudatus)  2.5-3" long $18 each at http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=52&de=765879
viper geckos are my favorite miniature gecko, i'll try to get a pair of those. if pet shops cant get me one and ordering online is too expensive then i'll try to get a reef gecko, dwarf chameleon, or mourning gecko. but the more i look at the pictures for miniature fauna for a miniature island it will have to be between the mourning gecko or the pygmy chameleon. i'll choose which ever is cheapest and easiest to aquire.

nothing says miniature dinosaur like a pygmy chameleon (Rieppeleon brevicaudatus) $25 + shipping $50 = $75 each at http://www.flchams.com/inventory_all.asp?id=1027

a mourning gecko would make an interesting monitor lizard or crocodile looking animal


now if only i could find a 3" deer for them to prey on them it would be perfect.

mammals
african pygmy mouse 1-3" long
