No, this little chap hasnt been painted nature has given him this bright red and blue suit just like the superheros. Now pet lovers are eager to buy the Mwanza Flat-Headed Agama because of its uncanny likeness to the webslinging wonder. Karen Baker, from exotic-pets.co.uk, said orders for the African lizards, which can live for more than 15 years, were spiralling up. She said: They usually live in groups with one dominant male who is usually the most colourful. People are drawn to them because of their unusual colourings and we have sold out. The demand just keeps going up and up. Agamas are said to be good pets if handled regularly, but they need special equipment to maintain their temperature. They can grow up to 30cm (1ft) long and are fed on a diet of locusts, crickets, mealworms and waxworms. Fake coin scam hits tunnel for 95,000 A FAKE coin scam at Liverpools Mersey tunnel has cost operators 86,000 (95,000). The bogus 1 coins have been left by drivers in the automated tolls in the Kingsway and Queensway tunnels in the past six months. The counterfeit coins are very hard to detect, as they are the same size and weight as genuine 1 pieces. There are now about 30million phoney coins in circulation. Artist is on a roll as he finds inspiration in the bathroom THIS collection of weird faces is no bog standard art project but a series of unique portraits made entirely from toilet roll tubes. The masks reminiscent of modern-day gargoyles are each folded out of a single 4in (10cm) cardboard tubes. They are created by 30-year-old French artist Junior Fritz Jacquet, who describes himself as a creator and sculpture in paper. The experience of folding this type of material is very interesting because I am forced to adapt my technique to the tube, which is also strong enough to bend in its own way, he said. He then coats each face in shellac and different coloured pigments be- fore fixing them to flexible metal stalks. Paper is surprising in its fragil- ity but also complex in its texture, elasticity, capacity to absorb light and its memory of being folded or crumpled, he added.
