A Marlborough (or manuka) green gecko (Naultinus manukanus) was stolen from the Fiordland Visitor Centre sometime between the 16th and 19th of July.  Graham has been a long time resident at the visitor centre having lived in the same terrarium for 30 years.

The stolen gecko has a distinctive grey marking on his head. Anyone with information about the missing gecko should contact Te Anau police or the Te Anau Doc office: (03) 249-0200.
