Hi Sherron, The gecko looks healthy. I really think it is a case of unusual coloration. There are photos of unusually blue Phelsuma laticauda (example http://www.nephrurus.org/geck_phels_laticauda.htm, related sub species with a lot of blue http://www.ig-phelsuma.de/haltungsberichte/grossbild/laticau3.html)as well as albino specimens(example http://www.gekkota.com/html/p__laticauda.html - also notice the bluish tail tip on the first specimen). Some other species of Phelsuma with unusual blue - http://forums.phelsumaweb.com/viewtopic.php?t=1359&highlight=blue+color+colour
