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
Seattle
