Support Very high level of detail -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:26, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
~~Very~~ weak support The detail is impressive and the support is strictly for its educational value, but the composition is very lacking. With such bright colors on the animal and that varnished wood, it looks more like a kid's toy left on the dinner table. Some other background would be better. --Cart (talk) 08:52, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good point. As you know I always prefer naturual surroundings, but this is unusual. These geckos were introduced acccidentally many years ago from Madagascar and have adapted to live in houses for the wamrth. Apparantly, they are seldom seen outdoors. Thanks for the nom.

Thank you for this info. In this case I think the surroundings add value to the photo because they illustrate the usual setting in which this gecko is found. Cmao20 (talk) 15:25, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I suspected these geckos liked the indoors, and since that suspicion was only based on what I'd seen on TV, I was being cautious. But there are more appealing indoor backgrounds so I'll just tone it down to 'weak s'. --Cart (talk) 16:45, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak support~~ per Cart. – Aristeas (talk) 11:13, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Changed to full support because of the information that this species lives mostly indoors there – so the setting is appropriate. Thank you, Charles, for the explanation! – Aristeas (talk) 16:25, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
