Geko- Christinus marmoratus Marbled Geko

Geko- Christinus marmoratus Marbled Geko
I am sorry I can not find definitive proof just what type this is as its shedding its skin. I have narrowed it down to nothing. I cant find it what I have found don't live in Perth. all I can do is watch, this is inside a very deep pot but I am sure getting out of the pot will be easy. I just may never know just what Geko this is. the tail spots and yellow markings on the feet one that lives eastern states why it is so confusing. I will keep looking...........but this is 15cm total length so its not small. found hiding in my shed as it does not want too move while shedding skin.

The Geko this morning has left the pot I will not try to find it with the thought of possibly crushing it lifting pots.

Sadly as I said in the cold night air its gone but moving pots is a very bad way to find in more like a good way of crushing it. the one that got away.
