After challenge comments -
Thank you everyone so much for all the great comments. Banzai is a Crested Gecko - Rhacodactylus Ciliatus. I have had him for just over two years now. He is about 8 inches long from nose to tip of tail. He doesn't mind being handled although he is not what you would call a "social" lizard like a leopard gecko or a bearded dragon. I love cresteds because of their amazing eyes and their funky "eyelashes".
Thanks again everyone - this photo moved up to my third best score and finish by the end of the challenge.

Nice. Not a bug, I'm sure it enjoys a nice juicy one. One of the better lizard shots I've seen of late. Hope you put some notes in with this saying what kind of lizard this is.
