Aha... Aha... (^_^)/ Gotcha! Say "cheese"... ^o^ ~ gekko gecko ~ tokay gecko from Bali

.....................................◊.........◊◊........................◊◊...◊◊........................◊◊........◊.....................................

 

You hear them before you see them... They show-off a nocturne cacophonous chorus of “TÓóóck-Âây... calls, in an awesome volume The call is often mistaken for that of creaking trills of frog’s chorus. Big and colourful, the Tokay is one of the most striking geckos I have ever seen in my life. This fellow was relatively large, approximate 30 cm or more... Despite being aggressive and having a fierce and poisonous (nasty bacteria) bite I couldn’t resist taking my chances, of course I was wearing long sleeves shirt, thick gloves, protection glasses for my eyes and hat.

I hope y'all have a great week!
