It's hard to get an idea of scale from the photos but it looks very much like a photo I took of Uroplatus Giganteus which is the largest of the Leaf-tailed geckos found in Madagascar

well spotted I saw a couple of these in Ranomafana and they are incredible masters of camouflage, although these are darker in colour they actually can change to match the tree they rest on during the day.
