What's that gecko?

Postby Polletje » Wed Oct 23, 2013 1:20 pm

Hi there, can you help me to ID these two geckos? I'm finding it quite a difficult job.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

The 1st one is a Bibrons gecko(not too clued up on bibrons vs turners distribution though) and the second seems to be a tropical house gecko.

First gecko is Turners Gecko - Chondrodactylus tuneri , second is Tropical House Gecko - Hemidactylus mabouia.

Turners Gecko is spot on for the area.

The next three are all Tropical house geckos.

I agree with the IDs above.

The geckos in your first two pictures seems to be both carrying eggs.
