Hello Elizabeth, Most likely a Lygodactylus picturatus from your description. There is a great picture on the GGA photo pages by Scott Solar. Link is below: http://www.gekkota.com/html/gga_photo_pages_149.html

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? ########################################################################### THE GLOBAL GECKO ASSOCIATION LISTSERV WebSite: www.gekkota.com Archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ The GGA takes no responsibility for the contents of these postings. ###########################################################################
