Cheers guys, have just been through a few species photos and vaguely remember it resembling more Ptyodactylus guttatus. I did think of the fan-foots but didn't check them because I thought they were all tiny! Laughing

I know colour pattern is probably the last thing to look at when trying to identify an animal, but Id expect guttatus to be a lot more heavily spotted than the lizard in your photo

It did have strong dorsal osciallations looking at the other photo, that was the only reason I opted for the P. guttatus in the end Cool
