Hemidactylus garnotii - Mindanao, Philippines 5

Description:

Description: English: Fox Gecko (Hemidactylus garnotii), also known as the Indo-Pacific Gecko. Photographed in Mindanao, Philippines. It is distinct from the other geckos in the immediate vicinity, instead of the flattened tails of the others (which were most probably Hemidactylus platyurus), this had a series of small spiny-looking things. The coloration is also white patches/spots on darker backgrounds. Again different from the others (which were darker mottled patches on lighter gray backgrounds). Tail is also ringed light on dark. Nose is a bit more pointed. Not very sure about the ID, so please correct if mistaken. Date: 10 May 2011. Source: Own work. Author: Obsidian Soul.
