Dwarf yellow headed gecko

Original - A dwarf yellow-headed gecko, Lygodactylus luteopicturatus. Pictured in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. App 7cm long. Tail shed through autotomy is regenerating.
Edit1 few dust spots removed
Reason
It seems to be lizard season here, so here's one from Tanzania. Good quality, EV, and IMO interesting especially the tail.

  • Support per nom. However I see four dust spots in a line that should be cloned out... I'd do so but maybe you can process from RAW (?). Fletcher (talk) 18:24, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Feel free to do so, I don't have the RAW and I can't see them either. --Muhammad(talk) 01:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Edit at right... hopefully that got them. they were in the background on a line about horizontal with the tail. Fletcher (talk) 03:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: What's the deal with the tiny little tail? Do they all have that? J Milburn (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Autotomy and regeneration is very common among these species. Of the few lizards of this species I saw, most had such short or no tails at all. --Muhammad(talk) 14:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, now that that tail issue is clarified. Bonus points for the fungi :) J Milburn (talk) 18:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are you referring to the red stuff? I think it may be resin --Muhammad(talk) 01:05, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually, perhaps more likely... You don't get resin like that here :) J Milburn (talk) 01:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
