Any Idea of this little guy

[tongwe]

Could any one help identify this gecko or skink.

Hey Tongwe

Could you please give us some background on the lizard?

Where was it found? Was it field collected on seen in a shop?

Thanx

[Westley Price]

It looks like Pachydactylus oshaughnessyi, O'Shaughnessy's Thick-toed Gecko, on first glance, but until we have the area it came from, I cannot be sure.

Hi
To me it looks more like a juvenile Good's Gecko(Pachydactylus goodi)
mostly found in the western parts of SA. It is a very nice find

[Westley Price]

I guess they do look similar, but P. goodi does not have a smooth tail and has rougher tubercles.

The pic was taken at Umfurudzi Park ( http://www.umfurudzipark.co.zw) which is north West of Harare in Zimbabwe. Thanks guys. Does this help?

@Westley - a mate of mine has also identified it as Pachydactylus Capensis oshaughnessyi, a subspecies of the cape gecko.

[Westley Price]

In that case it's definitely Pachydactylus oshaughnessyi. It is no longer a subspecies, but it elevated to full species status.

Gorgeous little gecko. Thanx for sharing. Please share pics of any other finds you have have too.
