Tiny little guys, do you have pictures of adults?

[Bowfinger]

Never mind just seen them...thanks for the pics. So how do you compare them to others in the group?

I'm not sure what you are asking, exactly?

I was just curious if they where similar to any other Cyrtodactylus, or had any unique behavior not seen in the others.

[WildEyeReptiles]

They burrow sometimes, which is rather unique. There is marked sexual dimorphism, males have red eyes with red/green bands circling the iris, while females have green eyes with red/green banding. Males are markedly smaller as well and have more pronounced yellow raised scales on the flanks. They dont appear to tail lure/wave like the larger species, and are not inclined to climb much. Otherwise, they are rather comparable.

I'm curious to see if the eye color of the neonates is going to be a reliable gender determining tool as well.

Haven't seen these before, very interesting to hear about the sexual dimorphism, would love to see a pic of the adults with close ups of the eyes.

I know someone that has an extremely high yellow male,I think its male.Its definately Pubisulcus.

Well lets see it! There is a pronounced hemipenal bulge of course, in this species. The iris bands dont really fire up all the way until night, particularly on the males.

I've been back and forth on this pair being different species, but its incredibly unlikely given the length of time since import- which rules out retained sperm theories....
