Weber's thick-toed gecko (Pachydactylus weberi) is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to southern Africa.
The specific name, weberi, is in honor of German-Dutch zoologist Max Wilhelm Carl Weber van Bosse.[2]
P. weberi is found in Namibia and South Africa.[3]
The preferred natural habitats of P. weberi are desert and shrubland, at altitudes from sea level to 1,500 m (4,900 ft).[1]
P. weberi is small for its genus, flattened, and slender-bodied. Adults have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 3.5–4.5 cm (1.4–1.8 in). The maximum recorded SVL is 5 cm (2.0 in).[4]
P. weberi is nocturnal. During the day it shelters in rock crevices.[4]
P. weberi predominantly preys upon moths and spiders.[4]
P. weberi is oviparous.[3] The adult female lays a clutch of two hard-shelled eggs. Each egg measures on average 9.5 mm x 6.5 mm (0.37 in x 0.26 in).[4]
