Struggling to identify this beautiful plain green gecko from current literature unless it's N. elegans well out of known territory. It had virtually no markings apart from the visible tiny patches of white spotting.
It wasn't interested in hanging about for a better portrait. Can anyone help please.
I have seen similar but with a few white patterns, presumably N. stellata, in 2015, but too shy and wary to get photos.
