This is a lined leaftail that we have at the shop, supposedly for sale, haha. His name is Jack because of The Nightmare Before Christmas, that is what he reminds me of with the way he walks and those skinny arms. I can not claim the photo abilty of these shots, Tony Gamble took them, not only is he great with dna, he's also awesome with a camera! So since he's one of my faves, I'd figure that I'd toss these pics up.

What's funny is just re-opened this and realized that in the pics his tail is cut off! Oops! That's okay, his tongue I love, the black is striking!

Oh, and I shouldn't admit... I am used to the gargoyles, cresteds, etc. Hadn't had experience with these guys... I had him marked Not For Sale for like 4 months trying to fatten him up!!! Doh!:o

Was able to finally see my first adult trio of these at Tinley this year...well maybe not this locality but leaf tails in general and they have alot more size to them then I ever thought!

Great looking gecko!

This particular one is the reason that I found out that they originally were NOT classed as geckos, just because they have so many teeth! He reminds me of an anaconda, he's totally fine, all is well, then out of nowhere BAM! He bites ya good! But yeah, I just get such a kick out of him, they are soooo cool! They don't move like anything else, just neat!
