They're endangered? My local petshop sells them in tonnes, I've always considered getting one. That or a frog.

Yea petshops get them from breeders, who can mass produce these little cuties making them fairly easy to buy. But it's pretty rare to see one out in the wild.
I dont know, I think they are better than frogs personally, and depending on the frog, a lot easier to maintain.
