Superb camouflage.
I can hardly count them.

That makes more sense, thanks for clarifying.

I guess they're not average geckos. This picture was taken at a wildlife sanctuary. (http://www.visitzealandia.com/site/zeala...) While there are probably thousands free roaming in the reserve, these were a group put on display — I'm not sure if the Wellington Green is quite so gregarious under normal circumstances.

I agree, very cool! It's not often you see geckos all bunched up like that in a group.
