That cat gecko gives a totally new look to geckos for me. Normally they look so cute, but that mouth etc make it look like a baby dinosaur.

Thanks, Chris. That cat gecko was actually very shy, not aggressive at all.

Thanks, Suzbah.
 
Great Kurt, my favourite is the cat gecko, even though he seems to be having a very bad day! :)

I wonder if they have a tendency to be more aggressive having just lost a tail. Obviously if they no longer have their first line of defence and new tactic may be required!

Thanks, Timmy. That's a very typical cat gecko defensive pose. They'll bite but it's not painful at all :p.

Superb set Kurt I agree with Steve the last frog pic is especially good perfect angle and pose:)
