Looks like another very dark stoloniferous neo by name of 'Tar Baby'.But maybe not.If it stops raining,I'll try for a pic tomorrow. Those lizzy pics are great. I remember seeing them all over the place when visiting Bermuda.Most of the wives did not appreciate them,especially when they'd fall off a tree and land on their hat or dress.It made for some interesting table talk tho. ;) Bob

as child I grew up in Cuba in an area near the coast , lots of threes in our back yard, I had so many of this lizards along with others, I can't claim is from Cuba, but for sure I have yet to see one in Florida, I would suggest, go to a Cuban website, under "Flora Cubana" it would tell you about of the species that are from there. Cuba does have many diferent species of animal, that are only found there, like the cuban cocodrile, the smallest bird, Zun Zun like a huminbird, smallest frog, and more. One of my favoritye videos on enviroment is from PBS library "Cuba, eden by accident" it is very stonning what our horrible enemy (according to some) is doing way better than us, and lots of other countries to protect the enviroment, air , water, plants and animals

UPDATE: Today I did a very careful examination of the lizard. I picked him up out of his cage (which he allowed me to do) and observed his physical condition. He does not appear to be suffering from MBD. All of his other bones (besides his jaw) are firm and he is in perfect physical condition. He can walk (but not climb) and has lots of energy. He is fully alert. HIS JAW IS BROKEN.. The actual jaw bone itself seems to have broken on both sides of the jaw under the gecko's eyes, and it seems as if his tendons/ligaments cannot function properly. He CAN open and close his mouth a little. He can lick the tip of his nose but not his eyes. He can exert absolutely no pressure with his mouth. And, if his mouth opens too wide, he has a difficult time closing it. It is apparent that he experienced a collision with the side of his enclosure. I am virtually in tears over this. It's just so frustrating that he is otherwise perfectly healthy. Please, if you have any advice, feel free to contribute. Could a vet fix this situation? Can any of you give me the contact info for a good herp vet (I just want to call one for advice, so he or she could be in any state)? You can view pictures of the gecko with his mouth closed and open by going to the link below. Thank you all so much. Danny Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures

We live in an old queenslander house and it is virtually impossible to seal all the gaps. We share the house with at least 2 Carpet snakes (in the roof or under the house I hope) They regularly shed their skins around the place. The geckos are breeding up - which is great to see, we all love to watch them hunting. We dont spray and the only cockroaches we see usually fly in. I would rather die of gecko poo poisoning than exposure to pesticide. We have numerous spider webs around the verandahs - I just cant bring myself to destroy all that work, and we seldom get redbacks which our more houseproud neighbours have in plague proportions. The gecko poo is nothing compared with the deposits of the micro bat which rests in the toilet and misses every time, instead ,leaving a collection on the floor beside the pedestal - but all this is nothing when I think of the alternative. I dont want to live in an airconditioned, toxic, sealed up box so I just live and let live and hope that the carpet snakes dont come through the open doors and into my bed while Im in it.
