[Leica] IMG: Unknown reptile

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Douglas,

I tried looking for photos on-line, and thought about geckos, as well as 
lizards.  What puzzles me is that right front foot, which appears to 
have three toes.  Most photos I see show five.

The other peculiarity is that the broken line of spots on his back 
continues down the tail.  Many species have circular patterns on the 
tail, not a continuation of the body coloring.

Good luck!
