Option 1

 * Calumma Tarzan
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article is very brief, without going in depth on any topics surrounding the animal, including its reproductive habits, habitat, conservation efforts, and more. This would be an ideal article to edit, because it does not have a lot of information listed and is one that I am very interested in.

Option 2

 * Timor Python
 * Article Evaluation: The article does not go into detail about the animal, with only brief descriptions of its geographic range, behavior, and conservation efforts. Because of the sparseness of the information, this article would be ideal for me to edit, as I would be able to add extensively to it.

Option 3

 * O'Shaughnessy's Lightbulb Lizard
 * Article Evaluation: The article has very little information, with only two sentences in total. Because there is so little to write, this would be ideal to edit, as I will have free rein to add as much as possible.

Option 4

 * Jackson's Climbing Salamander
 * Article Evaluation: There is a very limited article on this species, with minimal information about the species as a whole, much less about its habitat, conservation efforts, breeding habits, etc. Because there is not a lot of information and the article is in its beginning stages, it would be ideal to work on.

Option 5

 * Anolis Probiscis
 * Article Evaluation: The article, although more detailed than the others listed, still only briefly covers the species' conservation, speciation, and diet, and other important facets of the population. Because of the variety of sources and plenty of information to add, this article would be a good choice to edit.
