This is a cute little day gecko - Phelsuma sp., but it is hard to tell which one from this photo. Do you know which species it is? Where was the photo taken?

    Well, that's a clue - it's a Gold Dust Day Gecko (Phelsuma laticauda)

        Welcome to JungleDragon. That little interaction above is our "sport" on this site: figuring out the species on a photo. This explains why we obsess over it :) Posted 11 years ago
