Thanks to Greg C. for setting me on the Lygodactylus track and congratulations to Hartmut for solving my riddle!
Upon closer examination I believe I have purchased a male Lygodactylus kimhowelli this afternoon. Its head has the definite "kimhowelli" pattern similar to those feasting with your Phelsuma ornata. The body stripes are the same. The "skinny" stripes I am seeing are actually "dotted line" stripes within the blue body stripes. He has some yellow on his underside...not nearly as deep or as widespread as in your photo, a whitish throat, and black under his head. I hope to get at least one partner for him soon!
The pet store tells me that these "Cape Zebra Geckos" were captive bred in California. Have you found any accounts of these beautiful critters in English?
Many thanks for your help.
Peace and hope,
