Helpful Posts: This lady was about 12 inches long. She lives behind our outside stove and at night comes out on our wall. She is very skittish so one shot with a flash is all I got. Shot from behind because Tukos have a nasty though not poisonous bite. Sorry about the quality but I thought it interesting enough to post.

Thank you for sharing. Indeed an exotic looking little critter, looks a bit like a gecko but far more interesting.

Hey Brian,
Can you place a mirror in the scene so we can see her face?
It is an interesting shot though, Dave

I just looked it up and it and as much as Tuko is the local name 'Tokay Gecko' is the more formal name. Originally Posted by Brownbear

The shot was flipped from the vertical to the horizontal and the black is the night. If I can find a levitating mirror I might be able to Originally Posted by Dave Humphries

That won't help, you'll just run round the other side to avoid getting bitten again Originally Posted by JBW

My terminology thinking was wrong -- I was thinking gizzard for lizard...until I saw Christina's comment.
Gecko -- like that one in the advertisement (yes! I watch advertisements on tv.) Nice shot, Brian...the colour is very good unlike the greenish Gecko on tv...

we don't have a tv. Not bragging just too expensive for a satellite hookup. The benefit of YouTube is we get to block the advertising. the colours are as close to natural as i could get them. Originally Posted by IzzieK
