frenatus are primarily active when they want to be active, but yes they are classified as nocturnal, and yes that's what your little friend is.

Hello due to the non focus photos this seems to be Thecadactylus rapicauda

the fingers are too wide to be Hemidactylus

And I confirm: 100% platyurus. I also do not see significant similarity to Thecadactylus. These do look quite different (kept them as well)

Why should that help? It is a typical platyurus. Nothing, absolutely nothing unusual about this animal.

ok Ingo i don't know for sure if it is a platyurus or not but when you don't know so much about one specie you ask where does comes from so you can check if the specie you suppose it is so you can make sure

that's Biogeography

Regards
