I got this little girl this week. I'm not positive on which species of Madagascar Velvet she is. I originally thought B. sakalva since she's rather small(only about 6.5-7 in) but the color isn't right for that. I'm leaning towards a juvenile B. boivini but I'm not sure. Confident it's a female as it has no bulges whatsoever and large calcium sacs. Importer had no clue on species. Anybody know? Thanks.

I read on a german site that the Sakalava can have orange-brown, brown or steel grey eyes and body color ranging from greys to browns. With her smaller size, she's kinda looking like a Sakalava to me. In the first photo, does she have a red mite on her eye or is that a lighting glare?

The red dot is just a lighting trick, she's mite-free. Sakalava is still pretty high on my list of suspects, I have my doubts she's a juvie of the larger species simply because she's got gigantic chalk sacs. Her behavior fits sakalava as well(extremely fast and bitey). I am also considering the newly described species of Blaseodactylus because she looks very similar to the few pics I've seen of that one, although all I've seen are of preserved specimens, which tends to cause color/pattern.

Ok, after hearing from an expert on odd species(thank you Jon Boone) I've been informed she is an adult female Blaesodactylus antongilensis. After comparison with some photos I am inclined to agree. The snout is longer than that of sakalava, and her small size and patterning matches up. If anyone wishes to argue/concur with the ID please feel free.
