The yellow crested geckos of the Isle of Pines...

As already mentioned in other posts, basically all the Crested Geckos found on the Isle of Pines where yellow and very little pattern. Only the juveniles or semi adult animals had stripes or a marbled pattern on the back and flanks. We noticed this in all populations on the island.

  3. I'm delighted with photos from this expedition. Fascinating to see all these geckos as they are without human intervention.. and in their preferred habitat.
