Michael Garret found a small, little lizard in Sadam Hussain's old ammo bunkers. He sent in a picture of it (below) and a small description of what he saw on the little gecko.
He says that it doesnt have lil pads or adhesive on his feet, but its an excellent climber, its not aggressive, but warns you by a little chirping or barking sound when he picked it up. He asked what it is, and if its a new species he says that he would like to name it.
The makers of reptile channel send him back saying that its a "bent-toed gecko of the genus Cyrtopodium".
Its type (genus) is usually found in rocky terrain or such as under flaky rocks or small shrubs. They actually are often found in the bunkers or other underground areas built by humans because they offer a cool, wet, humid climate as the geckos LOVE.
So even though Michael didnt find a new species, atleast he got his question answered :)
