Default Can anyone identify any of these?

I know theres tanganicus, platycephalus and mabouia here... looks to be two or more other species as well (some pachydactylus and homopholis mixed in here, just ignore those)

The second pic is platycephalus. Do you have an extra male? hahaha... I could maybe guess on a few others, but hate it when people hazard guesses on forums that don't really know what they are talking about! Good luck with them all!

Dude,

You've got what looks like H. squamulatus, or something like it (tropidolepis, barbouri).

Check your inbox.

Oh, I don't see any Pachydactylus. I do see some Elasmodactylus!!! For anyone interested, the H. platycephalus that were sold on kingsnake a few months ago were actually Elasmodactylus tuberculosis.

I agree with Dan,
I think I see quite a few of the Elasmodactylus in the first photo (first two animals in the foreground me thinks along with others)... I would defenitly trust Dan's info over mine though as he has much more first hand experience than I do.
Dan, I e-mailed that guy on kingsnake to correct him and he e-mailed me back saying "no' look at those toes - definitely Hemidactylus" hahaha
Some people are funny.
Have a good night guys,
Peter

Hahaha. He did have some Hemidactylus cf. angulatus, but the toes on the "H. platycephalus" were distinctly not Hemidactylus! I attempted to buy some myself, but my phone calls and emails went unanswered. Oh well, I guess to some folks all money minted in the US is not equal.

I really like the animals on the last 3 pictures. Could you get some more pictures of those?
Thanks,

Jesse
