Can anyone tell me how many rhacs species there are and give a list of them or at least most common. I know of cresteds gargs leachies and chahouas. Just wanted to know if there are more

Crested Gecko, Rhacodactylus ciliatus
New Caledonia Giant Gecko, Rhacodactylus leachianus
Rhacodactylus leachianus aubrianus
Rhacodactylus leachianus henkeli
Rhacodactylus leachianus leachianus
Roux's Giant Gecko or Suras Gecko, Rhacodactylus sarasinorum
Tough-snouted Giant Gecko, Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus
Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus trachycephalus
Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus trachyrhynchus

I think that's all of them.

Here are all the geckos within the genus Rhacodactylus.
It's better to know them by their Latin name, that way there can be no misunderstandings.

Rhacodactylus auriculatus
Rhacodactylus chahoua
Rhacodactylus ciliatus
Rhacodactylus leachianus
Rhacodactylus leachianus henkeli
Rhacodactylus sarasinorum
Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus
Rhacodactylus trachycephalus

It should be noted that Dr. Aaron Bauer has also been describing some current rhacodactylus as belonging to another genus entirely (bavayia and erudactylodes), but I don't think this has been published yet...

Never heard of R.leachianus aubrianus...so I looked it up. Direct quote from Allen Repashy on it..."it is an invalid description from 1887 from a single lost specimen". I'd say that one can be discounted then.

The two that most people recognize for leachies is R.l.leachianus (mainland), and R.l.henkeli (island forms).
