Crested gecko — size comparison — facts and sources
The crested gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) is a nocturnal lizard of New Caledonia's humid forests and lower canopy. Skin projections resembling eyelashes run above the eyes and along the head.
Its toe structure supports movement over leaves and twigs, while jumping helps cross gaps between vegetation. By day it rests in dense foliage.
A prehensile tail helps on branches. Once shed it does not regrow, so many wild adults lack tails. It eats insects, fruit and nectar. Females lay eggs.
