Notes:
I suspect Gehyra oceanica, but I'm not sure they occur this far west. Could also be G. papuana or several other species. I can't find any published records of Gehyra from Waigeo at all, and to me it looks most like G. baliola, which is currently only known from southeast New Guinea. The pictures are so bad I don't think this will ever be properly identified. It was large though, I estimate the SVL to be about 10cm, and bulky, which narrows it down somewhat.
