These attractive little geckos have relatively flattened bodies and tails in comparison to their Common House Gecko cohorts. They also have more interesting patterns, and they were also far less common in the places we visited. I only saw a handful of this species, compared to dozens of the other.

After an exhilirating morning of dragon-watching I noticed this fellow lurking in the roof of one of the buildings at the Rinca ranger station. Its tail has been regenerated, and the second-generation one isn't as flat or attractively patterned.
