Spiny-tailed Gecko
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
We stayed overnight in one of the cosy bungalows at the park headquarters. Several friendly gecko species shared our accommodation. This one is a Spiny-tailed House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) which had a total length of about 130mm.
Mottled dark brown to pale brown in colour, it can be distinguished from other common 'house geckos' by its tail which is oval in cross-section and possesses a row of tiny spikes on either side (see inset).
Its distribution ranges throughout mainland Asia and Southeast Asia, and as far afield as south and east Africa and across the Pacific Ocean to Mexico.

Hello Chris,
A nice shot. I try many times for house-gecko picture but not yet satisfy with result. Congratulations to this fine picture.

Well composed shot, Chris.
Looks pretty big to me, and I can see those spikes on its tail.
TFS and take care.
