Crested Gecko
Correlophus ciliatus
Crested geckos are nocturnal, arboreal lizards from the humid forests of New Caledonia, where they climb trunks and branches with adhesive toe pads. They feed on small insects, soft fruit, and nectar, usually foraging after dark and hiding among leaves by day. Their mottled skin helps them blend into bark and foliage, and they can drop their tail to distract a predator, though it does not regrow.
