Lygodactylus capensis capensis
This little Gecko was about 40mm (snout to vent ie without the tail) with an overall stripy, speckled appearance and big friendly looking eyes.
Hunting along the outside wall of the house. Sub-tropical arid tree/bush savanna with hot, wet summers and dry mild winters
The right hind leg must have been damaged/lost as it is regenerating but it is interesting that the tail is in tact and presumably was not lost as a defense mechanism at the time
