OK folks,
Saw this extremely attractive gecko at a local pet store this evening and was unable to get the scientific name. This specimen approaches 4" in snout-tail tip length, so I'm hoping this is the adult color.
There was only one there at this time...seemed quite frisky, and from what I gathered, the others died from maybe a mite infestation.
Specs:
* exquisite animal
* bright yellow & black patterned head & neck
* black on the underside of the head
* alternating light blue & gray longitudinal stripes on body
* "less-striped" tail...colors similar to body stripes
* smooth-skinned body
* similar in size to my ubiquitous Lepidodactylus lugubris (mourning gecko)...looked a bit more "slippery" and slender
* recommended diet of crix & baby food
* 75-85 F and high humidity
* escape-artist behavior (I know about that, I think.)
Any ideas, you guys?
Peace and hope,
Elizabeth
