Looks like a gargoyle gecko but not sure about the body pattern.

I have seen them chomp down a banana in about 4 bites. The first ones to be sold in the US went for $20 000 each. They are cheaper today but not exactly pet prices.

In the wild they are far more common than Crested geckos which were believed to be extinct at one time.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
