Namastay Steve,
I see a never ending series of post of these beautiful Geckos. Very nice work. The capture technically I can't judge but the details and POV are excellent. Thankyou very much sharing. I want more.
Sincerely
Hara

It has unusual looking "hands". The one on the back foot seems to have the thumb on the outside rather than the inside like ours. Interesting textures and coloration.

TFS!

Hi Steve,
Again another cool native gecko species from your country, the patterns on this are beautiful. This species almost looks as though it has a prehensile tail as well as the Auckland green gecko? I would love to see KIWI images as far as I know I dont think there is any on this site? Great shot and TFS hope to see more cool creatures from New Zealand. :)

Hi Steve!
I really do not like to write "I'm just marking, I'll be back" but during these days (the beginning of new academic year here at the university) there are more that more work to do. So I am really sorry for these words and thanks for understanding :)
According to this picture I have to say that geckos are one of my favourite reptile group. In Europe we have only 3 species and none is occurring in Poland so it is a great pleasure to watch this fascinating creatures from other regions of the world.
I like POV which allow to see the entire body of this species. Also DOF is good and colouration of reptile suggests that it likes stone areas for living. Note is also professional (even if not very long) and I found here many interesting details about this species.
TFS and best greetings from Lodz,
Radomir
