Allright, maybe its not Godzilla but it sure did remind me of it. This "ferocious" mean looking reptile is in fact one of the cutest, most inofensive (hard to believe, I know...) creature t be encountered, more precisly it is Moorish gecko (Tarentola mauretanica) in controlled environment. I liked his posture and reaction to moving his "landscape" around, as this was taken in a controlled environment.
Well, enjoy!

What a beauty!!! He looks so cute!
I'm sure he's absolutely harmless, too!
Superb POV, splendid eye contact and good catch with the mouth wide open.
Lovely colors, good sharpness and nice framing.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Radu,

Superb Close up shot, excellent detail and sharpness and nice colours too.
He does look a bit ferocious, but I will beleive you that he is really sweet.

Hi Radu,
I find this gecko with terrible eyes, open mouth with such a pose on top of this thorny plant tha seems another bigger mouth, a fantastic composition.
