Hi everyone, I am a newby here
I have recieved a pair of frog-eye gecko juvenile last week which are 5-6cm(svl) now caging together, both fed and behaved very well.
It would be much appreciated if some expert can identify rather they are Teratoscincus przewalskii or Teratoscincus roborowskii.
Can you tell me the method to classify them as well?
Thank you.

I've found a 2008 post Teratoscincus roborowski? in this forum ID T. przewalskii or T. roborowskii by the scales on the back of the head.
I hereby enclosed each of 2 pics of my pair, can anyone help me to identify rather they are Teratoscincus przewalskii or Teratoscincus roborowskii?


They seems to me that they are Teratoscincus roborowskii as the scale are large refer to the reference pics in that post, aren't they?

Thanks for your help. They appeared roborowskii for me after reading that post.
Do anyone got any idea of what they are?

I just want to make sure that they are the same species when they need to breed in the future.
Set my mind at ease with your answer. Thanks for your attention and kindly reply.

They are both the T. roborowskii. There is a slight color difference but that could be a local thing or it could be nothing. They are safe to breed.

You can see clearly that their color and pattern are slightly different. One is lighter while the other is darker. Meanwhile, their characteristics are quite different as well, the lighter one is more active and the darker one is much temper, both were aggression for crickets indeed.
They even chase for crickets when they were shedding LOL.

Then back to it's cave to shed.

Thanks for your reply and your info for ID T. roborowskii and T. przewalskii were very useful!
This can help me to ID when getting new groups of this geckos. Thank you very much!

They are really lovely tiny creatures!
