Matthew, but Mitch is right it is a Yellow-headed gecko. http://bit.ly/jfv05K You can edit your spotting by clicking "Edit this spotting" on the top of this page, fill the fields and then in the bottom you will see "Save".

The only one I've seen was on a plate in a field guide. I wish I could be more help

I saw yours, Carolina, that's why I posted mine, to see if it was a variation or what it was with the blue head markings...have you seen others like this one, Mitch?
Carolina
I thought that Mitch! Because you identified mine, but I saw those blue spots on the head, and those patterns on it body that I thought they were different.
