... and he's not really that big. And he really isn't scary at all. You would be amazed--but he is actually incredibly soft. Those little patty-paws are like crushed velvet walking around on your hand.
BTW, when this particular species loses its tail, it does NOT grow back. The tail is a single-use confuse-the-predator defense mechanism. The vast majority of crested geckos in the wild are missing their tails. This fellow lost his when he lived with my niece, who was his first mommy. She didn't know the lizard was out and the cat was in. You can guess the rest.
I have 4 others of the same species, all of whom are much smaller, and all of whom still have their tails.
