| I make art posters of some of my images to sell online and at herp shows. From time to time, people ask me if I'll be making any new ones of different herp subject matter. One request I've had was for a cool day gecko pic. This is among my all-time favorites, but it's hard for me to tell if it's just me who loves my own shot, or if it might have mass appeal as a wall poster. Please give me your honest opinion on whether you think this is something that would have broad appeal and maybe sell well as a 16" wide by 24" high art photo poster. I photographed this adult giant day gecko Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis near the airport at Diego-Suarez at the northern tip of Madagascar while waiting for my plane to leave. I saw the lizard running around on the tree trunk with something white in its mouth. I thought it might be carrying an egg of some kind, but saw that it was a freshly molted coackroach when I crept closer.

I love it.  The gecko really seems to glow against the darker background. Awesome pic! But I got to admit, that cockroach is somewhat gross.
All the animals running around the zoo of my home:
• One nutty, loud-mouthed anatolian shepherd mix of a dog named Irwin
• Two cats, Snickers and Barney, who do nothing but run around madly, meow 24/7 for attention, run headfirst into things and kidnap scrunches.
• My first, one, and only herp, Twitchy, a beardie, whom I dearly love.
