These little guys are Seychelles Day Geckos.
They were to be found just about everywhere you looked on Praslin Island: on the stoep (balcony), in amongst palm leaves and clambering up tree trunks.
They are very cute. So cute, I’ve decided to give them a post all to themselves…
Let’s zoom in on this one… How cool are these patterns?!
I love these little things!!! They are quite different from the geckos we have in Brisbane. They are pale in comparison, but very cute just the same.
Yeah, usually also only see the “night” geckos – they’re brown, almost translucent and believe it or not – only seen after the sun goes down!
It was a real treat to see these little dudes
Love the colour contrast in the first picture. Beautiful pictures, as usual. Cute little guys.
Thank you lightlycrunchy
The balcony post in the top picture almost matches the true colour of their markings.
The last one is my favorite. He appears to be saying “wait one last shot before you go”. Cute little guys.
Hi f-stop mama – yes, I like that little guy too. He was seriously eyeing me up. Either that, or he caught his own reflection in my camera lens
Wow !
They’re brilliant.
Thanks Sallyann – they are stunning
I love ‘em!
What wonderful little creatures! When I read the title I thought it was going to be a Gecko with a punk hairstyle
Hi Meanderer – yes, I was hoping to cunningly get a few Green Day fans popping in
great
Thanks Raj, for visiting and leaving a comment
What incredible photographs! It’s my dream to visit the Seychelles one day to see the giant tortoises. Geckos would be a bonus!
Thank you so much becomingcliche
The giant tortoises are fantastic creatures albeit on a completely different scale to the little geckos!
Hope you get to go sometime soon
Adorable. Great pics too.
Thanks Heather
What a beautiful coloured gecko. So photogenic. Isn’t it nice that he stayed still for you and smiled in the last photo.
Thank you throve – He was an extremely considerate gecko – I liked him all the more for that
love them – it looks like he’s smiling at you.
Yay – A smiley happy gecko
