Asian House Gecko

Hemidactylus frenatus

Description:

brown, faint grey stripes, about 3" long, recently dropped its tail

Habitat:

urban

Notes:

I spotted this while walking on a concrete path along the Mekong river in the city of Jinghong. It was the first gecko I saw in China. It was slightly chilly and the gecko was pretty slow moving.

Thanks guys! You're nearly right Ismael, my profile pic was taken just before that mantis tried to climb onto my face! I didn't realize it at the time until I felt his arm touch my face!
