Have I told you that I love reptiles? Sadly though this litte guy's skin isn't in perfect shape. They have very sensitive skin and shouldn't being handled at all. This photo is taken at Universeum, Gothenburg.
One of four species of Phelsuma (day gecko) found in Sainte Luce. I was lucky enough to see all four, including the critically endangered P. antanosy, and this little fellow was sunbathing right outside out hut next to the dishes! Cropped
The same indivivual Phelsuma sp. as my previous shot poking out its tongue, I wish I caught this when the tongue was fully extended.

the gold dust day gecko (Phelsuma laticauda), named for the sprinkling of gold on its bright green skin; it also boasts orange-red spots on its back, red lines on its snout and blue-rimmed eyes. Native to Madagascar, the entire Hawaiian population comes from eight lizards released by a University of Hawai’i student in 1974, according to GeckoWeb, which says they then spread to “large trees and palms in suburban neighborhoods” on O’ahu, Maui and Hawai’i.
