Close up pics of a geko

[Banjo]

I bought myself a Cam Dig Microscope today and I thought I would post some pics I took with it, this geko was was about 75mm long.
And just for interest sake, is this a asian house geko?

Yeap thats an Asian House Gecko Hemidactylus frenatus
A single specimen can go from having an obvious pattern like that to being a perfect pinky white within a few hours.

Btw, usually its easy to ID them by the fact they have claws on the inside toe (the native Dtellas which look very similar do not have a claw on that toe), but it seems to have suffered and injury and is missing the end portion of that toe

that is in daylight colouration

I would need my reading glasses to see if they have claws on the inside toes while catching them, up until now I haven't bothered with despatching them as I wasn't 100% positive on the ID, as they all seem to be differant colours around my place depending on where I find them.

that is in daylight colouration

It was caught at night time, so maybe the lights on the digital microscope brought up the daytime colouration???

They can still show day colours at night, its just more common for them to be pale at night and patterned during the day

Thanks for the replies, when I took the photos it was under some fairly bright LED lights which may have bought up the day colouring.
