Rare zebra-striped Gecko, about to pounce on its latest victim -- must have eaten some pretty big bugs...

What an odd thing. I think it bothers me that its zebra-striped... ha ha it makes a great photo none the less.

@tyan: We're back in the Bradenton, FL Art District; a stray shot I hadn't shown - a few more will show up randomly...

I like how he's starting to blend into the house color. Funny how leaving part of his hand & tail out of the frame makes him seem more huge.

@Ken McCoy: Heh, I hadn't noticed. Maybe he's also a chameleon-gecko. Or else he's an albino tiger striped gecko with flecks of normal tiger coloration along his spine.

Wow...you guys sure have some interesting decor there in Bradenton VF....were you in the art district again? A lovely capture......I like the yellow background really draws the eye and makes the Gecko really jump out at you.
BTW thanks for all your kind and encouraging comments on my wedding photo's...greatly appreciated as always my friend! Have a most blessed weekend

@Mandy: You are very welcome.
As for the image, this one is a left-over from the first excursion. I just postponed its debut until now. Life has been so crazy of late, it's been hard to carve out time to do any actual new shooting of value.
Have a great weekend, full of blessings.

Everybody, thank you for commenting today. My gecko is pleased, as am I, to welcome you. Am3 is a great community of friends around the world and it is my privilege to be a small part of it. I always enjoy hearing from each and every one of you. Blessings all.

The orange strip is an odd addition --especially the way it's placed.

Love the shot. Great colors and print on the lizard. I know I have seen this but can't place it. Or else another place did similar.
