Gonatodes caudiscutatus
—
Shieldhead Gecko
Adult males of this species can be insanely colorful, with yellow-and-black reticulations on their head along with bright whitish-blue spots across their dark bodies. However, I only saw this female. She shared a tree just outside of our accommodations with a few nice green anoles.
