It looks like Goniurosaurus luii but I can't say for sure. It has very vibrant colours and is very pretty.

The bright bands would make me say G. luii as well, or G. lichtenfelderi, but usually the latter is a little duller than that, I believe.
Very beautiful animal, either way.

I did a little more research and I came up with the following:
"G. lichtenfelderi can be easily differentiated from G. araneus and G. luii because G. lichtenfelderi has only 3 body bands anterior to the hind limbs (including the nuchal loop). G. araneus and G. luii have 4 body bands anterior to the hind limbs (again, including the nuchal loop)."
So, it looks like you have a luii.

I´d agree, luii. Colour fits, five white bands at the tail...
