There's an adult lizard in Cuba called *Sphaerodactylus* that gets about
as small, two can curl on a dime. Hatchlings are far smaller.
There's also an adult chamaeleon in Madagascar that is in the same size
range. -- If we leave the amniotes, the smallest adult tetrapod seems to be
a frog in Cuba which measures 9 mm. It's so small that it lays only one
egg -- but that egg is big enough that the entire tadpole stage is spent
inside. Seen on TV on Tuesday.
