Frank....(in a loud/panic voice) I can't get to my car... come quick... there is a lizard by the car. :D this is what my wife yelled out... GOOD TIMES! LOL

Well... turned out to be a very cool looking gecko. I've seen geckos around the house before but they have all be a desert tan/sand color. This one had cool markings.

He we pretty interesting to view. He even made a squeaking noise when I picked him up. No harm was brought to him... after the mini session I put him out on our porch, turned on the light to attract some bugs as well.

Blog post and how it was shot

On to the photos.

Awesome! I wish you had more DOF on some of them, but overall I love the set!
 
It looks like a Eublepharis of some sort. Is it a wild native to your area?

Many thanks :) Shot @ F/16 ...f/22 starts to introduce diffraction. Shooting the Sigma 180mm macro at just about the minimum focusing distance at 1:1 on a few of the very shallow shots. Glad you enjoyed the images.

[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]WESTERN BANDED GECKO Coleonyx variegatus :) just looked it up :) [/FONT]Didn't read up on them... not sure if they are native or introduced.

Cool shots,

Great images Hatch! What a cool little gecko. :)
 
Very cool images. He makes me think of my grandson's leopard gecko.
 
Got me one of those. Like Leos...
 
Tell your wife geckos bring good luck! We had quite a few of these "roommates" when we went to Hawaii. Very nice shots :)
 
We had them in Okinawa as well... I'd run across one or two in the house on occasion. Cool looking little things!

Thanks again,
Hatch
