Sphaerodactylus macrolepis

Here, as you can see, is a very small gecko native to St. John, USVI.  I came across these geckos while vacationing, about 15 yards from the beach.  They reside in the leaf litter of sea grapes.  They are the only indigenous species to the island, but there are other introduced species which occupy the island as well.  



The last photo here is of their native environment, and yes, they have it good!
