a cape dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus capensis) stalking on the branch of a lemon tree..
When you look at her tail (reckon it's a female) then you see that she probably let the tail go at some time ago on the run from a bigger predator. Then it grew again but ist not the size it could have been if it would have be to be " replaced"... That's nature...
Cape Town, Southern Suburbs, Western Cape, South Africa

Cape Dwarf Gecko in a bonsai tree
The underside of their tail has adhesive lamellae, allowing it to act like a fifth limb for climbing.When threatened, they can drop their tail to escape predators. The tail regrows, but temporarily affects their climbing ability due to loss of balance and adhesion.

This tiny, juvenile cape dwarf gecko looked very cozy in their little onesie!
