Who am I? Found in a botanical tropical garden in England. Not native, of course.

    Haha! Amazing! He was in the lower tropics by a waterfall. They’re actually opening up Edens around the world!!

      Oh cool! England is the closest to me at the moment, though :p

      Found some sources that claim the species is Hemidactylus mabouia and that they were introduced on purpose for pest control. That is not unlikely, but I can’t an official document or statement from The Eden Project describing the species that they introduced on purpose!

        I know there is a display with plastic replicas of the domes denziens. I’ll have to take a closer look next time as it’s a local favourite spot. :) The articles I was poking around at were very generalist and you dug up way more than me.
