hes a day gecko i think peacock day gecko. almost all day geckos are from madagascar. but by the voice maybe hes a kiwi from new zealand

Nah...if anything he looks like a Giant Day Gecko. He doesn't have any blue or the eye spots that Peacocks have.

I'm afraid.. that the assessment of the gecko accent from new zealand, s. Africa or Australia.. are all wrong.. its a Cockney accent, belonging to working class Londoners from the east end of London. The voice actor is Jake Wood..

America of course.

England. It's not just the accent, but the attitude.

In an early 30 spot awhile back, he did refer to coming from an island......

Well, since he IS a Giant Madagascar Day Gecko... South Africa
