After searching around google - I believe this is a gecko however I'm currently unable to narrow down which particular species it is :S Posted 10 years ago

  Thanks for helping out Stuart. In my search I stumbled across this:

  To me it looks quite a lot like this Yellow-bellied Gecko, what do you think? Posted 10 years ago

    My pleasure Ferdy, I think you could be onto something with the Yellow-bellied Gecko. The size of the eyes, the colours as well as the texture of the skin all seem to match. Posted 10 years ago

        The stripes don't look the same to me, besides the toes are wide spread while this one has narrow toes like a lizard. Posted 10 years ago

        Did you mean The Yellow Headed Gecko (Gonatodes albogularis)? The female looks quite similar to this photo from the given link and google searches. Posted 10 years ago

        No, they were discussing the Yellow-bellied Gecko, but the female Gonatodes albogularis looks more likely. Posted 10 years ago
