Reptiles may not look like your typical ‘cute pet’ material, but this lovely lizard is here to prove that theory wrong. The savannah monitor named Manuel loves snuggles – his bath time is just “awwe” and he rocks tiny outfits!
“When I saw the conditions in which the lizard was kept by his previous owner, I could not leave him there so I took him,” Manuel’s owner Astya Lemur told Bored Panda. “He was very angry and sick but I cared for him, and now he is a healthy and happy lizard!”
“Manuel is able to come to my voice and knows how to ask for food, or a bath,” Lemur explained. “He loves when I stroke him. Especially behind the ears. He can show whether he likes it or not! He loves to swim in the bathtub. And dig the dirt in its terrarium. He’s very curious and loves to explore all around.” Isn’t he adorable?
