Any hints on knowing the difference between Pulchellus and Intermedius. They seem so similar. Although I have not seen them side by side, it appears that Pulchellus is longer . Help would be appreciated. JERRY

I don't have any experience with these guys, but I posted some info I found from reading the primary literature here:

I have found information to be limited just as actual study of the differences in the wild. I
have for sure both species and there are obvious differences.
Here is what I found in my geckos side by side based on what information is available to
consider one intermedius and one pulchellus.

C. pulchellus- Broader head and larger size. Usually has pattern on snout even if faint.

C. intermedius- Smaller build, smoother skin and no pattern on snout. There is also some
differences in banding but have found different locals of pulchellus to have similarities to
say this and be helpful.

There is also differences in vent area but without a decent camera and lack of
understanding the names of scales, pores etc I have stuck with the more obvious
differences.

Here is a link to see their photo comparison...
