I took plenty of photos of this brilliantly coloured Madagascar Giant Day Gecko when I spent a few hours at the Zoo, but ended up with only two or three photos worth keeping. This is perhaps the best one.

"The Madagascar Giant Day Gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis Gray, 1870) is a diurnal arboreal subspecies of the Madagascar day geckos (Phelsuma madagascariensis ssp.). It is found in areas of tropical and subtropical forest in northern Madagascar. The Madagascar giant day gecko feeds on various invertebrates and very small vertebrates and nectars. This lizard is among the largest of all living gecko species. It typically reaches a total length of about 28 cm, though larger specimens have been found." From Wikipedia.
