Thanks David for the proper ID. The show was definitely weak on the info dept., I
am not sure why they could not properly identify the geckos for the tv audience.
Leach's Giant Gecko? Hmph! They did geckos a disservice by not setting a proper
example, especially for kids. My dream is that common names will die a quick
death and everyone will know what they are actually talking about when it comes
to gecko id!
