Actually the picture is of a green gecko. Many reside in my yard and can be seen regularly during the day. They come out without fear of people as long as you don't try to catch them. They do change color according their immediate environment. Colors range from light and dark browns to bright greens. They are interesting to watch and keep the bug population in check. The males have a flap called a dewlap that emerges during territorial conflicts and attempts at female attraction. I had just purchased my new camera when I took these photos so I wouldn't brag about them. Just another story. Enjoy
